breed that can be sexed at hatch?

[Redhead Rae]

Here is a really good article about sex linked chickens and how it works.

I just hatched out my own Black Sex Link chicks by putting my Black Cochin roo over my Dominique and Dominique cross hens (all my hens are barred). I think you can get black sex link chicks by putting any solid color male (except dominant white male, like a white leghorn) over any barred hen (dominique, barred rock, Cuckoo maran, etc).

You may also want to read the first post in this thread. It discusses red sex links, black sex links and feathering sex links, as well as breeds that can be crossed to create them.

Cream Legbars and Bielefelders are auto-sexing.

You can also make your own Sexlinks as well. Using a red rooster over barred hens is the simplest way. Such as a Rhode Island Red rooster and Barred Rocks Hens. Hens pass the barring gene on only to their sons.
