The first one is a young Rooster and isn't a Sex-link. If he was a Sex-link he would be Barred (Black Sex-link) or White (Red Sex-link)
The second one looks to be a Mille Fleur pattern on a Belgian Bearded d'Uccle cross.
Third is just a cross.

Hi all!  Can anybody tell me if a BCM rooster over Delawares or SLW would produce sexlink babies?  If the BCM rooster won't what rooster will?  Thanks

What are your averages ages sex-links starting to lay?  My black sex link is probably my favorite out there but she is 6 months and 0 eggs.  I also have a golden comet female 4 months.  She just started getting red in the comb so I'm thinking she will start soon.  Just wondering.

I didn't think I would enjoy chickens as much as I do.  Now, just stop the freeloading and give me an egg.

Sure would. The hens should lay nice dark eggs too. smile

I have to disagree with a previous post. BCM should be birchen at the E locus and this allele will not work in sex linked crosses. You can not produce a red sex linked cross using birchen unless the mother carries dominant white and the silver gene. If the mother was a delaware carrying dominant white (homozygous)  the cross would work.

Read the following article. I wrote the article so that chicken fanciers could educate themselves.  The delaware is a good choice for the female side of the red sex linked cross.
