Black Australorp rooster x Buff Orpington hen = NOT a sexlink
Buff Orpington rooster x Black Australorp hen = IS a sexlink. Males mature to be white/black, females mature to be buff/black. However, the newly hatched chicks are hard to sex by color until their feathers start coming in.
Check out this BYC page for a TON of info about making sexlinks. /img/smilies/smile.pnghttps://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=261208
Mr. Adkerson probably doesn't include the Buff Orpington x Black Australorp cross on his page because they are not a true sexlink, since the chicks can not be sexed by color at hatch.
