Buckeyes & partridge cochins???

[leliadax]

I just bought 4 hens, 2 buckeyes and 2 partridge cochins...if they breed with my new hampshire red rooster or my maran rooster what will the chicks be? Maybe sexlinks???

No, they will just be mixed breeds, not sex-linked. If your hen was a Cuckoo Marans, then you could cross her with your New Hampshire rooster and breed Black Sex Link chicks.

I agree.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your knowledge. They will still make good layers, just not as good as sexlink?

Yes, the offspring should still be good layers, but they will likely not be the egg laying machines that the commercial sex links are.
