It's okay, we love our chickens and know that they are "special" (but maybe to US, only)?

So, the parents that were bred to make this breed were originally a silver laced cochin bantam hen and a speckled sussex rooster. Also, since the resulting hen which I now have (in the pictures) is red, then my prediction is that the chicks coming from these eggs will also be red-sexed links.

And yes, the chickens in the pictures are what I'm breeding now.

The sexlinking does not carry on to second generation birds. Red hens will not produce chicks that are sexable by color.
It worked in the first generation because the hen was silver. A silver hen can only pass that silver color to her male chicks. A silver rooster, however, can pass that silver color to both his male and female offspring; and furthermore, that silver base color is dominant over red-based coloring.

Might want to do a bit more research into what it takes to breed a sexlink or a show quality bird before you start advertising birds as such.

Do you still have hatching eggs? I'm interested

I realize I'm really late to jump in here, and the second person to ask this, but so you still have eggs available? And is it 15$ shipped? If you have any still available, I'd be very interested in purchasing- I just want to hatch out a few cute, cheap chicks as my first time hatching with an incubator. If you're no longer selling these, then ignore this
