White barred chicken...?

[Chickpalooza]

My chick is blank, even though there was a headspot present.

The chick is dominant white, so there should be some form of barring present.

No visible barring was present until the 8th or so week with noodles. Give it a bit of time.

Interesting.

Interesting.

It pretty much darkened over time. There is still no visible barring on his flight feathers and tail feathers.

So I don’t have leghorns, and don’t really plan to get any, I have Columbian Wyandotte’s and whiteish whiting True Blues. Would either of those work or should I wait until I get a different breed. I actually might be getting one or two leghorns or leghorn crosses from my aunt like next month or the month after, so maybe I could breed them. Any advice is appreciated. I might start my own thread on how to get a pattern like this.

If you do tag me for sure. Also if you’d like you can use the pictures of noodles on this thread as an example.

P.S. to above,

I didn't choose the reptile night bulbs out of any particular concern about the red light, just because I've been brooding in central NC late spring/summer and needed to keep the brooder temperatures from climbing to rotisserie levels of heat.

It was the reptile night bulbs or ordinary incandescent bulbs. I thought that it was better to get the not-very-expensive reptile bulbs than to use bright white light all night.

Wrong thread I think?

Interesting.

He’s also getting darker so I think eventually he’ll have barring on is flight and tail feathers.

I've had this happen once, or twice.

Nice.

I'll update as my chick grows, since both of ours are White plus Barring.
