Lacing vs barring

[LaurenRitz]

Is this lacing? Her father is barred, the barring coming from her Bielefelder grandfather. Her mother is a Jersey Giant, her father Bielefelder x JG

No. It just looks like some messy barring.

What is the difference between lacing and barring? I thought lacing was only the tips of the feathers and barring was striped feathers.

I always describe lacing as it looks like someone took a Sharpie and made an outline. It should be a line around the outside/edge of the feather.

This is a laced bird. A silver laced one, to be specific. There are other colors.

Pretty bird, I stand by statement that someone took a black sharpie to that white chicken
