Barless

[fastpitch dad]

what causes barless? I've seen some and just thought I would ask.

they lose their bars in a bet

It is the lowest of the wing pattern genes, below bar. Do you have pictures?
Often, people will call something barless when there is something else responsible for the lack of bars or checks. Spread ash reds don't have bars but are not barless.

Spread ash red look barless because of the lack of dark pigment colors for the bars? Is this right?

[fastpitch dad]

I don't have any just curious about them. All that I have seen are blue.

If I understand it correctly, the pigment is there, just arranged in a different way that we no longer see it.

The weird thing is that spread pigeons are actually some form of bar pattern underneath the spread that we are also unable to see. They can and will be check or bar or barless and all is hidden by the spread factor.
