Are there any breeds that are "naturally" sex-linked?

[cluckitall]

Hi all -- I'm noticing a few breeds that appear to be naturally sex-linked: Columbian Wyandottes (I think), maybe Delawares? Is this my imagination, or are there any purebred breeds that are inherently sex-linked at hatch?

Ooh! Lovely birds! And a totally new breed to me -- how cool!

So there's at least one...

There are some threads here on those- yes pretty! They FLY though.

Yeah, they look like they would!

Any others that anyone knows of?

All the Autosexing breeds.... Cambars, Legbars, Rhodebars, Welbars, Dorbars, Hampbars just to name a few..... most have never been in the USA or are just now filtering in.... some are gone....

Oh man, a whole other batch of new breeds! This isn't good... As it stands right now, I have a VERY mixed flock -- it's my first time owning chickens, and I keep wanting to just get one or two of a new breed just to see what they're like. Which is fine, except I'm suddenly up to 25 chickens! Thanks, Keith! I'll look into those!

I wouldn't call jaerhons purebreed.
To your question: all breeds with pure sexlinked barring (cuckoo).

Oh, fascinating! Thanks, Henk69 I didn't realize that some of the cuckoo-patterned breeds were. I have so much to learn still!

Okay, starting to read a bit more about it -- I didn't realize the difference in shade between male and female birds with cuckoo barring was sex-linked. This is really fascinating stuff! Thanks again!
