    Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

    Question.... I heard that a CL Rooster over Light Sussex or SLW hens (or any Silver Gene hens) will give you red sex link chicks? But would it really work with the CL being Barred?

    Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

    Does anyone have any photos of mature BCM X CL sex link chickens? Preferably hens but I'd like to see the roosters too. I'm very interested to see what they look like mature. I have both breeds so I might try this cross.

    Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

    Sorry to jump in on this conversation, I'm new to the sex link projects and I was wondering if I read this correct... if I put a Black Copper Marans rooster over Cream Legbar hens I will get sex link chicks? Like Black Stars? Is this because of the barring gene in the hens? I understand you...

    Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

    Hello, I'm sorry for commenting on an older post but I'm finding it very interesting. So if I cross a Cream Legbar Rooster with Light Sussex and Silver Sussex hens I would get sex link chicks? Females would be redish and males would be yellow or light? Does anyone have photos of chicks and...

    Breeding Heritage Sexlinks

    Ok great, thanks so much. I meant 'heritage' because none of my birds are hatchery stock birds, they are all heritage Orpingtons and Sussex. I was told to use only heritage parent breeding stock to create Sex links and never hatchery birds. So if I crossed a Black Orpington rooster with...

    Blue Sex link project

    Great thanks so much for the info! So if I use a Lavender Orpington rooster over Barred Rock Hens I will get black sexlink chicks? Will they all be black and the males have white spots on the heads? Also would Malines work as hens or just the barred rocks? Thanks
