Can i breed hybird chickens?

[josytang]

If i want Black Star chicks and all i have is Black Star hens and roosters, can i breed them together to get Black Star chicks? or do i have to breed Barred Plymouth Rock Female and the Rhode Island Red Male?

In order to be able to tell what they are at hatch, you have to breed the barred to a red. If the sex links breed and you hatch them, they will not be sex links they will just be hybrid egg layers.

You can breed your hybrids but you won't get sex links from them.

Barred FEMALE, non-barred male make sex-links.

Otherwise you just get random mutts.
