sexlink

Is it possible for this sex link to be a female?

What is the best practice for f2 breeding? I’ve looked high and low and only see how to create them, and am not locating information on how best to breed them or with what. My question is then what? Do I breed it back to the father or a brother 🤔 is there even a point it doing so? Is there a...

So I had purchased two sex links which are supposed to be sexed at birth with a clear marking on its head which would determine the sex. Both of them did not have white dots so I was hopeful for two girls but now I am wondering if I have a roo. He or she is 5 weeks old currently. Let me know...

I have had my baby chicks from Rural King for 13 days now and only JUST realized that the chick who is outgrowing the others by far might be a male. He/she is a Starlight Green Egger, according to the sign, and is at least a third bigger than most of the other chicks. Big, thick legs and a bit...

Hi, I THINK this is a BR Roo x Wel Hen. It’s a pretty chick admittedly but I’m not sure whether having a BR Roo makes it sex linked and I was wondering if anyone has seen this pattern before?

Hi all! So a random white leghorn showed up at my house. I have red and black sex link hens. I decided to hatch a few. I jave 6 Lil yellow fluff balls. Any one had this mix? Any photos?

I'm supposed to be getting some peach peafowl. I'm new to peach. Since it's a sex-link color, does that mean there's a way to tell at hatch if they are male or female? The breeders are all peach pied/white eye/silver pied/solid.

I have five chickens of various breeds/mixes and I’m trying to figure out who is a roo since I can’t keep them in my city. I got them all at 1 day old and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. I’ll sort them by color and their names in parens with the breed/mix below. Red and white (Twitch)...

Hi everyone! First and foremost, please know that I'm not overly concerned about whether or not this chick will in fact turn out to be a hen, and this post is mostly for fun and curiosity to hear other's views or opinions of the matter. I'm not always the most succinct person, so bear with me...

I have hatched two rounds of Welsummer (rooster) X Cream Legbar chicks. This should produce sex-links. The chicks I suspect are males have very small head spots compared to other sex-links I have seen. What would cause them to not be as defined? My stock is from breeders and not hatchery...

Ok so I put eggs in my incubator to hatch my pure light Brahmas.. they hatched over labor day weekend and well a few of the eggs were from my buff orpington hen and I only have my light Brahma rooster so what I was wondering is if they are sexlink as I know a BO rooster crossed with a light...

I have 3 roos for sale. One is a golden sexlink (we're pretty sure) no idea what the other 2 are. They were sent as extras in a hatchery shipment and we just can't keep them all! I didn't want to slaughter them so I thought I would list them here! They will be 8 weeks old on May 23rd. $15 each...

We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?

Hello, I have some Chinese geese. I've read that a mix between the brown and white create a sexlink. From what I've read though, I've seen people say female gosling are white, males are dark...and vise versa. I was just wondering if anybody knew exactly what the outcome was of the auto sexing...

Ok I know if you breed a naked neck (turken) to a silkie the babies are supposed to be sex link by their skin color. Black skin means hen and pink skin means boy. What do I do if one is born half and half?! I’ll post a pic of my newly hatched chick. It’s lower half is all blue/black skin and...

Hello everyone. My golden sexlink started laying at 21 weeks old on September 3, she has not yet taken a day break. I’m happy but also feel so bad for her. She seems energetic and happy. How many of you have ad an egg laying machine like my Ms. Ruby?

Hi Everyone, New to backyard chickens. This website has been a gold mine of information. Thanks to all for taking the time to offer your thoughts. I recently picked up these pullets from the farm down the road. I am having a hard time identifying them, the farmer wasn't even certain. Amy...

Hello everyone! So I bought 8 chicks a little over a month ago, and one of them, I was told, was a Black Jersey Giant. Right off the bat, it didn’t really look like one, and I was wondering if it was an Americauna. At this point, I’m truly not sure, but I definitely don’t think it’s a Jersey...

Hey everyone, I think my older sex-link is pulling feathers from herself? I am just really unsure what is going on. I don't know her age, but she is an older girl and she is a rescue battery hen. She seems to be fine, but I know something has got to be bothering her for her feathers to look...
