You're probably right Jill, and I'm just not knowledgeable enough to have discerned it. I saw that he mentioned it being "typical of the breed", but then it was followed by info about differences btwn hatchery stock vs other stock, and he called the green a "minor flaw" so... I am still confused as to whether it's a breeding defect/undesireable trait or what. If I knew more about the topic I probably would've had an easier time understanding. But that's ok. I'm sure I'll figure it all out at some point when I learn more about breed standards etc.
-- Oh- there are posts here that aren't about breeding? Excellent. I will check it out. I'm sure I'll learn a lot about the breed. Thanks for letting me know.
-- Yes, she definitely made me love barred rocks. She's super cool.
Thanks again. Take care.
Broodymama, here's a thread I think you'll really like and it's a little more informal when it comes to breeding Barred Rocks...sometimes the lingo about breeding in this thread can be daunting, especially when they get into all the genetic codes for this or that color or feathering....makes my eyes roll back in my head.
