I don't even know anyone who fly fishes, but if you would like to sell chicks or hatching eggs, I'd love to have a few of these glorious birds. The barring is incredible!

The pics of the trio, what color is that? chocolate or khaki barred? I would like to have some of those just because I like the color.
Thanks

There's still a few he's missed. His whole site relies on either him having specimens, or people sending pics of specimens. If neither, well, it's not going on feathersite.

Not quite; Barred PRs are Black Based. There is no other base you can cross with to get non-black-based F1 offspring unfortunately.

Genetically, Hackels are {E^R/E^R; B/B; lav/lav} OR {E^R/E^R; B/B; I^d/I^S)

Actually if you cross a barred rock rooster with BBR/light brown/golden/silver hen you will get barring over the pattern which will be crele. I speak from experience using barred leghorns with patterned hens to get crele in other projects in the first generation. If you use barred rock hens with patterned roosters you will end up with sexlinks which are more black based
