Supposed to be a Barred Plymouth Rock

[tyk1989]

Got this lady from TSC, and she is supposed to be a barred rock, was black with a white dot as chick, but looks nothing like my neighbors. She is 17/18 weeks old.

Any thoughts?

Looks like those poor quality barred rocks I've been seeing a lot lately.

I just saw someone with a similar bird. I think it was moonshiner.
but it's a rock with irregular plumage

Not sure on what she is other than a poor quality Barred Rock. She's beautiful though!

Hatchery birds are variable. She obviously has other ancestry somewhere back there that is not barred rock. But she's pretty. I wouldn't mind having a barred rock like that.

Little bit of SLW in that breeding

Here's a thread about "barred rocks" with similar coloring.

Yep, there have been a lot of these "Barred Rocks" recently. Not sure what's going on...
