Johnny, Black Breasted Red males have clear hackles and saddles, while Light Browns have hackle striping. Jerry S. wanted light browns way back when, but it was decided at the time the males looked too much like wheaten males, as most wheaten males had at least some hackle striping. That could have confused and probably discouraged a lot of beginners. Today most good wheaten males have pretty clean hackles. Few breeds recognize more than one of the three, though Old English seem to come in pretty much everything - but maybe not Light Brown. Wayne Meredith had light brown large fowl in the 1970's, but switched over to wheaten when the Standards were adopted. He will always have my gratitude and admiration for that.
