I have a BCM rooster (possibly a mix), and RIR and Silver laced Wyandotte hens. If I cross them will they produce sex links (if he isn't a mix)? I have read many threads on the matter, but have read contradicting information. Also, which type of comb will be dominant, considering the Wyandotte?

Thank you.
 
Rose comb is dominate to single combs so all chicks would have rose combs. Unless any of your wyandottes carry the single comb gene which wyandottes sometimes do. In those crosses half will be rose and half single.
Your cross to RIR will not make a sex link. You need a gold bases rooster over a silver based hen. That is the case with the Wyandotte case but I would imagine the chicks would be hatched mostly black so there wouldn't be any gold vs silver showing to be able to sex by.
