Breeding

[Higbeefarms]

So real quick I know about genetics and all in dogs and learning chickens

So my small question is this:

If I got a lavender orphington roo

And I let him go to barred rock hens or buff orphingtons or Brahma and or amerucana

Would they be sex link ?

Again I get the generic but just wanted see cause I like the thought of making own breed etc

LO X PBR is a sexlink
LO X BO is a nice cross but not sexlink
LO/BO X BO is a cross which will result in half of the offspring isabella and the others a mixed colour

How would the chicks show the lavender part of the Isabella if they only have the one gene still?

* Orpington, not Orphington

Only mentioning this because I've seen quite a few people spell it that way and it seems to be spreading. That's probably the way you saw it elsewhere.

Also, "Ameraucana". It's an especially weird name, lol.

What about to amerucana or brahma

depends on the colour
