    If a Barred Rock hen is mated to a red Easter Egger rooster will the resulting young be black sex-links? Will they still lay green or blue eggs? Sincerely, Thebirdwisperr

    Sex-Links

    I have a question. If a red Easter-Egger rooster mates with a Barred Rock hen will the resulting young be sex-linked? If so would it be a black sex-link, like the Rhode Island Red/Barred Rock commercial ones? Sincerely, Thebirdwisperr

    2 roosters

    I have 2 roosters. (a 7-month old, and a 1-1/2 year old) My 1 and a half year old has been dominant but today the younger one was finally able to mate a hen. Does this mean he is now dominant or does it just mean the other was letting him. Sincerely, Thebirdwisperr
