CLB * Black Orp

[Chuckkeeper]

Hi all
I hatched a bunch of eggs from my CLB hen x Orp Roo (either black or Jubilee).
The chicks all look similar. Who is in agreement there's a clear sex divide here or am I being too hasty? Always appreciate a second opinion.
Hen left, boy centre and right.
That'd give me 5m:2f!

Thanks

Right now it does certainly looks like you've got 2.2.

Age?

Hmmm interestingly, the boys are barred and the girls aren't - coincidence?!

If I'm not mistaken, you may have created sex-links. Mom was barred, yes?

Hmm, yes, but I didn't think this would work given that the CLB is itself a cross. But there's definitely something going on as I've hatched 8 and there's four of each pattern. Four with one pattern have no barring and no comb. Ignore my earlier 5:2. It was lazy guess work

Male cream legbars are barred so maybe thats why your boys are. Interesting

It's my hen that was the CLB. See the pics I've just shared with Ovaro

I have learned that it's not the purity of the bird that creates a sexlink. It's the gene for barring. (ETA: this of course only applies to barred sexlinks)

Correct me if I'm wrong @The Moonshiner (and praise me if I'm right lol), but a non-barred rooster over a barred hen will produce sexlinks. Males will be barred and females won't.
