Hi all.
I have a RIR cockerel and light Sussex hens
I read on here that I could use them together to hatch sex links. It said that the girls would be golden in colour and boys would be white.
I have white with golden patches, and golden chicks with brownish stripes.
When I checked their feathers to make sure they were girls and boys it through me off. The white chicks wing feathers look like girls, ie one long one short one long one short, and the gold have feathers like boys, all long?
Am I missing something or have I got it all mixed up?
Any help would be great. I have done sex linked chicks before with different breeds but this is first time with RIR and still pretty new to chicks.
Thanks in advance.
These are day olds so help needed asap.
