The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Kiki]

I need to know what the end result will look like.

I think that might help me understand.

Their colors.

Seems like you guys have everthing covered! It would be nice to find out if the Barring mutation found on the 55 flowery is either sex linked dilute B^Sd(sex-linked dilution), B^Sed(sex-linked extreme dilution)

How does one find this out?

How does one find this out?

By crossing the F1xF1 and confirming if the Double Barred males are lighter than usual or Nearly Solid white

Its just sex link barring like every barring I've seen. There's nothing excessive. Do you have example of a breed that has excessive barring instead of regular sex link barring.
They end up nearly white because of both barring and mottling taking away the color.

That is Why I am interested on your breeding project, for a long time Ive been wondering if the 55 flowery males are nearly solid whitte due to Sex linked dilute, there is really no other breed tha combines barring and mottling to make real comparison, but I have seen pics of double barred candy corn polish and they are not white.

edit. It would appear that candy corn polish dont have mottling... Any other breed with mottling and barring for comparison?

I've had barring and mottling on black that did the same thing. Even my hen turned d@mn near white. The barring I was using was from my cuckoo not from a 55.
I ended up losing my pair of barred mottled blacks but I think I can make them again.
I'll try to do the 55 project and recreate the barred mottled blacks for you to see.
They will not have barring or mottling from the same line.

Here are gold duckwing (top)
Silver duckwing (bottom)

That's the base pattern of all the 8 varieties.
These are just straight duckwing. No barring. No mottling.
You can see the difference in the two to show what is meant by the sex link gold vs the sex link silver.

Here is a barred silver duckwing (top). Notice he is same as the above silver with barring added.
Barred gold duckwing (bottom)
Same as gold duckwing above with barring added.

Now here's a mottled gold duckwing.
Same gold duckwing pattern but this time with mottling.
Sorry couldn't find a mottled silver duckwing but you can get the idea. Same mottling except on the silver duckwing pattern.

Now the barred, mottled gold duckwing. These are what the 55 hens are.
Basically this is all three of the gold duckwings above. Gold duckwing base pattern plus mottling plus barring. Barred mottled silver duckwing would be the same on the silver duckwing base pattern.

EDIT TO ADD.... THESE ARE NOT MY BIRDS

Perfect. I understand all of this.

They’re awesome! I’ve never seen barred leghorns before.

I actually used those barred leghorns to make the silver leghorns that I pictured and am using for this project.
The barred ones are silver based so I crossed them with brown leghorns to get the silvers.
They were my second leghorn project.
My first was whites and browns and made pyles.
