    For my Red Sex-Links, I crossed a Rhode Island Red male with Rhode Island White female. When the other birds aren't laying well like now with their yearly molt, my Rhode Island Whites are my best layers along with my Leghorns.

    You will get chicks of different colors. The females will still be good layers and the males go to the freezer.

    For me it's selecting nice eggs if the eggs are small the chicks will be small. More importantly is selecting the parent stock with the traits you are looking for in your birds. I show my heritage birds in poultry shows so selective breeding is most important.

    I only use netting to cover my pens to keep bird predators out such as owls and hawks, otherwise I do not use netting either.

    For the mating's to work the physical characteristic must be carried on one of the sex chromosome - thus the term ‘sex-linked’- and the correct male and female breeds should be selected. For example, a Delaware female mated to a New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red male is a sex-link cross where...
