pretty sure all the barred ohiki in the US are from Toni-Maries original flytie crosses. Pretty sure that's how she got the barring in all of them. So in short, if it's barred it has some degree of flytie in it, though the genes controling the "flytie" feathering may not be expressed any more. Ohiki have very thin feathering to start with, so a thin saddle a lone doesnt justify calling him a flytie. But with a barred bird , they all should be decendants of them in ohiki
Right.. The flyties have ohiki in them.. and are thus a mix.. Flyties are not just bred for thinness, but we try to select ours toward those thin feathers, length, barb counts, and webless saddles and hackles..
