Lots of questions!
A.
Do the normal rules for making sex links found here apply to bantams?

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sex-linked-information.261208/

And, if anyone feels like reading this huge list,
B.
does anyone know if any of these would make sex link or even feather link babies?

C.
From what I can understand, if the rules apply to bantams, I should be able to at least mix my black cochin with barred cochin hen for a sex link? I would love it if some more of these will work, like the frizzle cochin with barred cochin hen. I will be breedin this one anyway so will find out eventually from experimenting.

So,
The male bantams I have are:
1. black cochin,
2.white cochin, (doesn't work for sex link?)
3.blue silkie,
4.white silkie,
5.buff silkie,
6.dark brahma,
7. light brahma,
8.delaware,
9. blue dutch,
10. Black frizzle cochin,
11. Red frizzle cochin
12. porcelain d'uccle,
13.mille fleur d'uccle,
14. Belgian quail
15. Spangled old English
16. Gold sebright
17. Easter eggers were sold as "ameraucanas"

And my hens are
1. Black cochin
2. white cochin
3. Barred cochin
4. Golden laced cochin
5.Blue silkie
6.. White Silkie
7.. Buff silkie
8. Dark brahma
9.. Light brahma
10. Buff brahma
11. Porcelain d'uccle
12.silver sebright
13. Gold sebright
14. Bb red old English game
15. Red pyle old English
16. Easter eggers sold as "ameraucanas"
And good grief! I didn't realize quite how many bantams I've collected!! Especially since half of the hens are 2 or 3 per breed.

D.
Any other interesting crosses anyone has tried?
E. Last question for now!
What would come out if I crossed my black male cochin or frizzled red male cochins with my gold laced cochin hen?

I have tried reading lots of stuff but can't figure the genetic stuff out. I will be writing everything down when I do start experimenting next spring! And just to make this post even longer here's a pic! My little barred cochin henny penny.

Yes, those rules apply to all chickens. The barred hen paired with most of those males will produce black sex links. The red cochin over a light brahma will make red sex links. So will the gold sebright over the silver.
