Does the single barred gene to sex link chicks work with roosters too?

[Leilukka]

I have a couple of mixes:

barred rock rooster + ameraucana hen

barred rock rooster + black australorp hen

So I have easter egger cockerels and mixed cockerels.

If I mate a cockerel with a non-barred hen, for example, a blue cuckoo maran hen, will this produce sex linked chicks?

I know that if you mate a RIR with a barred rock hen you get black star. Sex linked.

Does this also work with my single barred cockerels?

No. The barring gene will go to some of both sexes

No. The barring gene will go to some of both sexes

Okay. So I had seen a chart and I wonder if this is the possible outcome? So the rooster is single barred.

Males:
25% double barred
25% single barred

Females:
25% single barred
25% non barred

Is that what would happen?

If the rooster is single barred and the hen also has barring, yes those are the results you would get.

If the rooster is single barred and the hen has no barring, you will get:
Males:
25% single barred
25% non barred

Females:
25% single barred
25% non barred

The difference is in whether the hen gives barring to her sons or not. If she is barred, she gives barring to her sons, so some are double barred (they also got barring from their father) and some are single barred (they got barring from the hen but not their father.) If the hen is not barred, then she gives non barred to her sons, so they are either single barred or non barred depending on what the rooster gave them.

The pullets come out the same either way, because the hen is giving them a W chromosome to make them female. So she cannot give barring or non-barring to her daughters at all.

So let me see if I get this straight. So, if the father is single barred and the mother is not barred, then the daughters will not be barred?

So let me see if I get this straight. So, if the father is single barred and the mother is not barred, then the daughters will not be barred?

If the father is single barred, half of the daughters will be barred and half of the daughters will have no barring. This is true if the mother is barred and this is also true if the mother is not barred.

If the father is single barred, half of the daughters will be barred and half of the daughters will have no barring. This is true if the mother is barred and this is also true if the mother is not barred.

Thank you!
