What's the next "Bubble" breed???

I love going to the dutch leghorn site and just looking at the silver and gold flitter birds. They have so many varieties over there. We dont even have blue light brown or anything which would be super easy to do since there are blue light brown dutch to work with.
I am also on the leghorn bantam 'band wagon'. I have barred bantams that could use improvement on the pattern and all but I still have them. The neighbor will be getting more light brown leghorn bantams and we plan on doing a partnership type thing kind of like Shock and Berger and the other famous duos. We are going to try and make crele leghorn bantams!
 
Maybe we need to talk...I think I have some of the best Leghorn bantams around, in my own humble opinion....a little cross country gene swap for the flock...
In the pic you can see a Lt brown roo that did very well he is with a small group of hens now...I've got the incubator full of their eggs plus some others that I bought from another very good show line...looking for the perfect rooster. Still only Lt brown though...not sure how to proceed other than import a pair..and hope for the best...
Crele....you say....could be interesting
 
My Naked Necks are the BEST!

I got my barred leghorns from Phil Barts over in the midwest area. To be honest the hens look more like rock hens with longer tails and white earlobes. The rooster looks akay but he doesnt have thick enough saddle.
I think on the-coop they mentioned that some strains of show RIR's here in the US are red flitter or something because the hens have the glossy lacing.

Thanks for clarifying the breed. I have to say that they are, by far, the most interesting, friendly, gentle birds that I have ever had. They love to be hand fed, and just really interesting to watch. If anyone has space constraints, there birds are the best!
