Mixing Barred and Black

You'd probably get very dark barred birds with little white, and some pure black.
And if you mix barred with blue you'd get half black barred and half blue barred, but once again with less white since one parent is solid, so the barring in either case wouldn't be very good, but definitely interesting!

 

I'm not sure but I think if the male is barred, it will pass that to it's kids, while if the female is barred, the boys will end up barred? This may only be sexlinks though.

 

Oh so cute! They have fuzzy booties on! My wild guess is the ones with white dots on their heads will be barred and males! But that's only 50/50.

 

For instance with all Barred Rock mothers and various fathers, all my male chicks were barred and my females were solid black or black with gold/red in the hackles. No barring in the females. They were definitely sexlinked. The fathers were a Cochin/Silkie cross, a Silver Phoenix and an Easter Egger. The EE/Br cross pullets, now owned by rooster-red, have spangling and lots of gold, very beautiful girls, but I didn't get a male from that cross, only two girls. I'm sure he would have been barred, though.
With a Barred Rock sire, however, all chicks would probably have some barring, is my understanding.

 

Those chicks are adorable! Can't wait to see how they look feathered out!

 

When my barred rock roo mated with a black hen cochin we got a female and a male barred cochin. There cute. They have the barring of the dad and the feather feet of their mom. They are built like mom too.
