    You'd still get black sex links, as blue is just diluted black, however you may not be able to sex them all correctly at hatch. This is because from a blue cock you'll get half and half blue and black offspring. While the males will indeed be barred regardless of whether they are blue or black...

    Actually, in the case of a black cockbird over a Delly hen, you should get BSLs. I apologize - I should have asked what kind of cockbird you are using before answering. I was basing my thoughts on use of something like a "red" male e.g. Production Red as they use in a lot of BSL crosses. I'm...

    Won't technically work for a BSL. The Silver will hide any Barring present in cockerel offspring and they will likely appear a muddy columbian (depending on the exact cock used in the crossing of course). They can however be used for making RSLs, as they carry the sex linked silver gene, in...

    Looks like a pure Delaware to me. It's definitely a cockerel. I don't see how it could be an RIR X RIW cross in any scenario - if the RIWs were silver based, then you'd get either red sex links (red females with white leakage, white females with red leakage) or 100% hetero silver chicks (all...

    The mother was very likely the black sex link, none of the others have the genetics to produce a cockerel like that. Out of those possibilities, only the Barred Rock female should produce sex linked offspring. Although... I do wonder about the Rhode Island Whites - I'm not sure if hatchery Rhode...

    That is a cockerel, and most certainly cannot be a Black Sex Link. He's a regular mixed breed.

    Genetics are hard, aren't they? Took me so many weeks and months of studying before I started to honestly understand what was being said. And even now I imagine I know only a fraction of what there is to know. I think that's part of raising chickens in general. Even people who've been seriously...

    Yes, you'll get Silver offspring... some will have black Delaware type markings others may not, and they'll all probably have some red leakage.

    Just put a SLW, BR, and Silver Penciled Rock into segregation to breed with my Speckled Sussex roo once they're "dried out" from being with my mixed breed boys. Should produce some interesting sex linked offspring, I'll post pics here when they hatch.

    The GLW X BR chicks will be Black Sex Links. Any chick which has a white spot on its head is a cockerel. Pullets will vary but I'd expect them to have a very dark, muddled, probably mostly black GLW chick down pattern.

    Nope, only Speckled Sussex cocks could be used for a sex linked cross (which, by the way, make beautiful offspring - I did some SS X Silver Penciled Rock sex links last year and they are GORGEOUS!). SS hens are neither Silver nor Barred. BLR over SLW should work for a RSL, not sure if they'd be...

    Same color patterns as to Blue Wyandottes - non-sex linked B/B/S with red leakage. Of course they will be mixed breeds not just mixed variety. They will show a very big nasty rose comb.

    No, they won't be sex linked. You'll get Blue/Black/Splash babies and all will probably have some degree of red spotting and leakage.

    My RSL hens and cockerels, and their mother's sister (lost the mama to a predator last week). Speckled Sussex X Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock. The hens just started laying.

    x2. A Black Sex Link, by definition, is created using the Barring gene.

    These are the Cuckoo chicks... or should I say Cuckoo cockerels looking at the color of those combs!? :rolleyes: One smooth sizzle, one frizzle sizzle. They've got a nice good chance of carrying the Silkie gene according to the breeder, so fingers crossed for that. They're very cute but yeah...

    Thanks! The project is just beginning, as of yet. I've got pretty much all the male stock I need - one Red Partridge, one Buff (with lots of red leakage/autosomal red? not sure), one Partridge, and a beautiful Cuckoo roo for breeding pure Cuckoos on the side. Only one hen so far though, a...

    Anybody know if BSL pullets created using Black male x Barred hen would have any phenotypical white leakage in the plumage? I'm trying to figure out if it would be possibly to produce sex linked birds that could be shown. Obviously only the females would be a pure color, but all the same. I've...

    I've made a similar cross - Silver Penciled hen, although the male was Jubilee/Speckled/whatever people are calling it these days. I had no idea the cross was sex-linked at the time but I remember checking the chicks over when mama came parading back from the garden 3 weeks after she was "eaten...

    I do think that is correct... the chicken calculator confirms... I'm just not sure how well the dot would show up on males? I know I would have to breed carefully in successive generations, as it would be impossible to see the white dot on a Splash bird, so no Blue x Blue breedings... but I...
