The Buff Barred is a warm-coloured hybrid layer with soft golden-buff plumage broken by gentle barring, giving her a mottled, sun-dappled look that stands out nicely against greener birds in a mixed flock. She is a medium-sized, well-rounded hen of pleasing proportions, and her colouring makes her one of the prettier choices for anyone wanting a flock that catches the eye.
Beyond her appearance she is a sound, even-tempered bird. She settles well, is friendly to handle and gets on without fuss in a mixed group. She lays a good supply of brown eggs and keeps at it dependably through the year, so she offers both decoration and a steady contribution to the egg basket.
