cross between BO/BA

[ChickenCat]

I have some gorgeous chicks that were hatched Nov. 14th. Now help me figure if I have a "breed". I have a BA rooster, a BO rooster, and BA and BO hens. I know they crossed and some of the chicks have the most beautiful coloring to their feathers. Are they considered a sex-link?

The Buff Orp roo x Aussie hens could make sexlinks (Aussies often times carry the silver gene, so this would make a "red sexlink"). If the Aussies carry silver, males will be white/black, females buff/black. However what I've heard is that you can't sex chicks of this cross at hatch, because they develop these separate colors with time. So technically they are not sex-links, because they cannot be sexed at hatch.

You can pm RAREROO for more info, he knows SO much!
