It might work. They sound like they are Delawares. They aren't extended black, so their chick down is too light for the head spot that indicates barring to show clearly. You can try it, but don't count on black sexlinks from them. They would be good for breeding red sexlinks though. Since they are white with black, they are silver. Silver hens, when crossed with a red/gold base color rooster, will produce red sexlinks. Male chicks inherit their mother's silver coloring, pullets will be gold/red.

Marvellous! I also have a light brown little roo (could maybe get away with calling him "gold") so that would work also.

You've been so helpful - i really appreciate your advice


Many thanks

Yeah, the worst thing i did was build another coop with a run to house the pullet in question (no longer in question) and another 9 - kind of a breed-out thing. However, what that actually means is i have more room for more chickens once i introduce the remainder of them to the main flock - great for me, but I'm not sure the wife's too impressed
