You're right there are 2 types of Roans and how they came to existence.

The funny thing is how a True Roan comes from a True Roan and a Sabino Roan, then how did they get the True Roan. I think that the first True Roan in my opinion came from breeding two Roans together and then they called it a True Roan. I don't know if that's a fact or not but that is my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Sabino Roan is the offspring of white and color. I know in cattle there are Roans. That come from white and color.

Pretty Thora!

Here's our girl Chicken Girl (left) with her son, Bro.
As you can see, she has some sort-of-barring-type patterned feathers towards her tail.
Also, she has spur bumps herself...not necessarily a sign of "boyness."

Spur bumps do show on both sexes but males develop them first. Calypso doesn't have any bumps but Thor does on his right leg and he has developing a barring pattern on his wing now. Females sometimes have barring on the train. Females that have spurs are usually 2 years or older.

I'm jealous. I used to have a palomino but then she died. Now this is my new mare
She's an appaloosa chestnut.
