Excerpt from Studies on Inheritance in Poultry, Vol. 1: The Constitution of the White Leghorn Breed

The barred color-pattern is doubtless a. Very old and a by no means uncommon form of marking in the plumage of both wild and domestic birds. With some modification it is present in the feathering of many of our game birds, but it is in one or two varieties of domestic fowl that the character is to be seen in the purest and most extended form. At the present day the Barred Plymouth Rocks, an American breed, represent by far the most perfect development of the barred pattern to be found in any species or variety of bird.
