He is the brother to the cock that won the National Young Bird Show in 2008. He is a powerhouse, and a great breeder/parent. His mate, a Blue Bar hen is a typy smaller hen. She is out of a Blue barless cock and a Blue hen. She balances the Red Bar.

This Red cock was the best Red Mike Sweeny raised last year. He was the best Red in Des Moines in 2008 out of several reds, also best Red in the National Young Bird Show. They picked the Red Bar over him. His Red hen is old, but she has bred some of the best Reds in the country. She is out of German imports.
