Wow. Very informative. So basically now I just need to figure out what the dominant color is as far as the bredding pair that I choose from? Because the chick is obviously colored like dad.
that was too simplified, Females Do get their fathers Sexlinked genes, as the females cant pass theirs to their female offsprings, BUT the males also get a copy of the fathers sexlinked gene and also one copy of their mother sexlinked gene, now if the mother has a dominant sexlinked gene and father recessive, this creates whats called a sexlinks, for example, if Father is Rhode Island Red and Mother is a Light Sussex in this case Silver is dominant over gold(RIR have sexlinked gold) now if we do this cross, the Females will look very simmilar to RIR(maybe not as dark) and the males will look like light sussex males from chick all they way till they mature, at that point their usual Silver colored hackles and saddles will become yellow/straw colored.. but at hatch the males will look silver and the females orange/chestnutt
