Parents of my black sexlinks. The rooster is definitely not barred or white. The hens are clearly barred

In your case:
Female will pass her "sex" chromosome to All males. Your roo will pass one copy of his chromosome (he has two). Male offspring will be a mix: dominant barred/whatever. Dominant will win out and makes will show mostly the characteristic "female" sexlinked trait, since they only have one "dominant" chromosome. However, unlike the situation with females (one chromosome = 100%), males have two chromosomes (one dominant or 50%), so genes from the other chromosome bleed through and show up in the color trait. BUT male chicks should also carry the dominant "yellow" shank gene, which females WILL NOT.
So, you can look at leg color. Females should have much darker feet, in your cross, they have no "yellow" gene on their sex chromosome.

As ive explained before:
This cross should produce offspring easily identifiable by shank/foot color, males being lighter(more yellow) than females.
In addition, female offspring will have only the sex chromosome from the male and will show whatever coloring he brings to the table. THAT is why you see the color variation in female chicks...but again, the females

If this is too much information, and you want a single sentence answer, you are out of luck.
 
I didnt complete one sentence:
"But again females".... Will have darker legs/feet.

Also, "makes" = males

Im typing everthing on my phone recently, ill have computer connection again sometime next week. Until then using phone 4G.

Junebuggena doesn't need to sex her chicks by leg color. They are sexable by down color. Cockerel chicks will have a white head spot, pullet chicks will not.

For anyone interested in creating sex linked crosses the first post in this thread is a must read.

To the OP, sorry your thread got so far off track!
 
Lol, back to the beginning.

To the OP, sorry that genetics leads too so much confusion and the low level of reading comp on this thread...

Im done. And thinking of leaving haven for "i been doin it fer years, i dont need to be learnin nothin. If you cant say it in one sentence, i dont want to hear ya."

You seem to be really confused about sexlinking genes. Yellow skin/shank color is not dominant. All chicks from my hatch have yellow skin, because both parents have yellow skin. Both the males and females had a dark 'wash' on the legs at hatching, so they could not be sexed by leg color, at least not at first.
 
because both parents have yellow skin.

-then what is with the pic you just posted?
- look, YOU did not notice a difference in leg color! It does not mean it wasnt there. EVERY one of these traits is subtle. If you are going to post misleading pics then YOU are the problem

You do not UNDERSTAND genetics.

Im done here. I cant deal with the group "mob" mentality. Genetics is complicated, MOST people cannot comprehend 1/10th of what i know without question...

Straight up? You people are....

Whatever, if anyone wants to learn. They can read my posts. But i know that ignorance is bliss, and most of you are VERY happy!
