I see no trolling and if we were trolling I believe one of the monitors would have gave us a warning.

I would also recommend that you try being a little more polite in you posts by putting Please in front of stop. Your not a monitor nor are you our parent/s.

ok well my blue raced red dotte wasnt hatchery, barred rock from hatchery. so idk id the barred rock was feather sexed, BUT, the one chick i got from this pair is solid black. So is it safe to assume its a female since this cross would produce black sex links!?!?

Most likely yes, the white dot on the head would mean rooster all black would be a hen.  Hatch some more and see what you get. smile

Well... congratulations you had a 50/50 chance. You can take your hen to "visit" a roo you know. They only need bred about every 5 to 7 days to have good fertility.

I'm not trying to hi jack this thread..just need a question answered. I hope the op doesn't mind me asking it here. Is there a way to tell what you would get from a cross of a BSL roo & a RSL hen? Not talking about sex link but just color in general? There has been some great info passed out on this thread. Thanks.

You will get several colors from that cross, ill try to give you some rough estimate and I'm goin to assume the RSL hen you are using is red with a white tail but if not, let me know and ill adjust it.

A BSL rooster is only going to have one copy of barring so when bred to a non barred hen, half of his offspring will be barred and half will be non barred.

A RSL hen (if white tailed) will only have one copy of dominant white, so when bred to a non dom white rooster, half of her offspring will get dom white and half won't.

So you have to combine those to aspects together to figure the colors

Also, if breeding a barred roo, especially if he was bred from a red father, if breeding him back on red hens, the red is going to start dominating the extended black.

So with all that in account, the possible colors you could get will be

Barred (ranging from black barred to red barred)
Black (ranging to almost solid red, like the above color without the barring)
White ( ranging to almost white tailed red like the RSL hen, same as the color above with white replacing the black)
Red barred with all black replaced by white.
White with faint ghost barring. ( I have pics of this that ill post in a minute).

ETA.  Here is a Ghost Barred cockerel that I bred a while back from a BSL roo on hatchery "RIWhite" hens.  Its a result of one copy of barring and one copy of dominant white.  Also, this cockerel should most likely be pure silver based since he has no gold leakage which would have been possible from his fathers side, however since you will be breeding to red hens, I would suspect yours to have some gold tinting and probably autosomal red showing in the shoulder region similar to a RSL rooster.

Congrats,  just make sure its dried though first so you can tell for sure if there's a head spot, but I'm sure its dried by now and from what I can tell from the wet pic, I don't see a spot.

And so is it the only chick you have now ?  She needs a chick friend or two to keep her company.
