All the males will look like a BBR, all the females will look like a cross of duckwing and wheaten, but more heavily on the wheaten side. Kind of a dark wheaten with a gold neck.

Dann Honour's quotes
"When the adult plumage has come in, the hens too will look like a wheaten base with duckwing stippling and near penciling on their backs. Males in adult plumage are not identifiable as one e-allele or the other"

here a hen from him, she is eWh/e+ Db/db Di/di

thanks everyone im trying to figure out the father of some chicks. two of them kinda look mottled and one is solid black (starting to look chocolate) i only have one other roo i think hes a amber link could he be the dad? it might help if i post pics of the roos and chicks ill have to do it later its raining here

It would make sense that the Sex-Link is the dad, yes. If the mottled ones are yellow and black mottled when born, they're BBR x Wheaten. If not, they're probably something else.
