Could be crossing a silver penciled rock rooster over barred rock hens. It would produce sex link chicks and in theory the pullets would look exactly like barred rock hens.
Problem is theories don't account for leakage.
Id be interested to see a male version to see if they exist. They would show a lot of leakage but wouldn't be barred so if anyone has one that has leakage and is barred it would blow at least the sex link idea of my theory out of the water.
Edit @Overo Mare has me too distracted.
The cross would produce sex links but I was thinking backwards. Males would be barred and females non barred.
Barred rock rooster over silver penciled hens would produce these pullets and barred with leakage males. Still interested in seeing a male version. The cross would not suprise me from Hoover's.
