What color is this?

Is this just a weird looking Barred, or something else? I bought him because he was beautiful but if anyone has some genetic insight, I'd love to hear it!

My actual normal Barred boy included for comparison. (These are Bantam Cochins of course)

He looks a bit like a splash crossed with a barred. He sure is pretty though.

He's just mixed for barring, as is the second bird. Some parents were barred, some were solid.

Okay thanks. So any guesses on the chicks he'd throw with a Blue hen?

 

[donrae]

He's split for barring, so about half his offspring will be barred, regardless of gender. Over a solid blue hen you'll get half blue and half black. So, 25% each blue barred, black barred, solid blue and solid black, all regardless of gender. Give or take.
