Anyone done a BO x RIR or RIR x BO?

Many years ago, I did this cross-- and mine turned out sexlinked... Whether something wasn't right, or by accident---

Not so much a "mix" as a splitting out.

Original ISA Brown, commercial RSL




This is the white bird split out of the ISA Brown. It takes three generations of focusing on the white side.






This is the red bird split.

Question, what does the offspring of a Black Sex Link roo and a different breed hen look like?

My understanding is that you can never use a sex-linked bird to create another sex link.

I think you could use a Red sex link rooster over Barred hens for a black sexlink.

I realize that, I was just wondering what colors you could get. I guess it depends on what the Roo was in the cross for the BSL, and what colors the Roo and Hen were in the RSL.

These are my new babies. The father is a porcelain colored Easter Egger, and the mothers are EE, Cinnamon Queen, and Welsummer. Got some interesting colors, can't wait to watch them grow! The two yellows in the middle are from CQ moms, the two on the right in the last pic are wellie mixes, and not sure which moms the other three had. I had a friend hatch them and she said only 2 hatched from EE eggs.
