If this Roo mated with a white leghorn or a Rhode Island Red what would I get and would I be able to tell the difference. Would the chicks be sex links?
 
The rooster is not red based, so he could never be used for sex linking.
A white leghorn would be white not silver, so all the chicks would be white (not sex linking).
A Rhode Island Red hen can't be used for sex linking.

I *think* you may be able to breed him to a Barred Rock hen to produce a black sex link in which the male offspring should inherit the gene for barring from their mother, and the daughters will be non-barred. But with this rooster not being solid colored, that may not work at all or it might be extremely difficult to tell the barred chicks from the non-barred chicks at birth.
