Is there a barred chicken with colors other than black and white?

[Bananabelle]

Ever since I was little and found out there were "zebra chickens" I fell in love with them. Now I'm curious, are there "tiger chickens" (barring, but with red and black)? or barring with any other colors?

There is Crele, Which is the closest thing you can get to black and orange..

Bielefelder has different colors.

Barring always involves the white stripes. But those white stripes can go on any base color.

Barring is a loss of pigment on the affected parts of the feathers. Due to this, barring can be nothing but white.

However, there is a similar pattern, not barred, but stripes, caused by completely different genetics.One breed that possesses that colouration is the golden Campine.

Someone here on BYC also managed to create a "Buff barred rock"
The rooster is gorgeous, Couldnt find any pics of the hens but if you want you can check out the thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...rock-results-pics.229407/page-5#post-12763034

Almost forgot, There are Isabel cuckoo orpingtons Which are a personal favorite of mine

Thats all I can think of for now.. But there are definitely more varieties with the Barred appearance to them.

Thank you all for answering, and so quickly too! These pictures are lovely, and the crele is just gorgeous. I didn't know the particulars about the barring gene being a lack of color, that's rather interesting. Are the barring and stripe gene dominant or recessive?

Barring is dominant. It's also sexlinked, so males get two copies and females get one. You can actually see this:

because the rooster has less pigment overall.

The transverse pencilled colour (I'm not actually sure that's its name) is more a collection of genes (Db and Pg and E^R) all of which are nominally dominant, but there are a few genes, such as E, that would make them not show.

Oh I'd LOVE to see a blue barred variety!
