Attempt to make black sex-links, did I get all boys or mess it up.

I was reading this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sex-linked-information.261208/

And thought that this young man was a Silver Laced Wyandotte.

Leeroy has done a good job of covering my barred rock hens, so I thought let's hatch them and see what happens. I was expecting some with dots on their head and some that were black (boys and girls respectively). The article indicated that Columbian, Partridge, Gold Laced, Silver Laced Wyandotte over barred rock would give chicks with a dot = boy and solid black = girl. I got two silver dots and one gold dot.

I circled them, so did I get all boys or did I use the wrong stud? Your assistance is appreciated.

Thanks
 
Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track.

Leeroy doesn't even like other roos. I don't know what he was thinking of, making more of them. :D
With chickens it's the hen that determines the sex of the offspring so can't blame poor Leeroy.
Maybe your hens aren't to fond of him.
