The table below contains some of the birds that can be crossed to produce chicks that can be feather sexed.

Any of the males in the table, can be crossed with any of the females in the table to produce offspring that can be feather sexed. If you purchased your birds from a hatchery, check with the hatchery to see if the hatchery feather sexed the birds you purchased. If your stock was feather sexed, then the chickens can not be used for feather sexing crosses.

You will not have any sexlinking from the sexlinks. You need a barred hen and a non-barred Rooster for black sexlinks.

Great info - we are crossing our BCM rooster with the Barred Plymouth Rock hen. Hoping this is a sexlinked cross.

Yes, you will make black sexlinks that way.

You have to have a black not barred cockerel and barred hens.

You could try for silver red sex links but would need to have the right genes for that.

Go here and read up on the options.
