(Aside to centrachid) Nah. If your speech is anything like your writing, trust me, I'm pretty confidant that no one on the planet has an accent like yours...

On this planet I agree.

It's absolutely a great start; fresh and very user friendly.

I like the new website, it loads fine for me with mozilla.

I am not sure if I should ask this here but will a dominique crossed with a RIR roo give sexlinked chicks? Thanks

flitter I don't know why your web browser would make a difference. I'll mention it for you on the other Dominique web page at Face Book. The web page was started by the new DCA president and she'll know who to tell about it.

Same thing with the second link. I'm using Mozilla Firefox as my browser so I tried it on my old (never use) Windows Internet Explorer and it loaded. Hopefully your web master will fine tune for various other browser later on. Cool site!

Yes it will. We are planning just such a cross for some feed store chicks next year.

Thanks Heaven, I was going to get some barred rocks again and make some but got to thinking the ones I bought from you should work. Thanks

If you do a search for sex link here on BYC, you may find the very informative article about sex links. The first post has been edited to hold the majority of the information, including the "recipes" for different sex links. It is well worth the time to find it and read it.

Also Stromberg's Chicks & Gamebirds Unlimited catalog has the "recipe" for several crosses. This year's catalog shows them on Page 45. Different hatcheries call their sex links by different names, but they are essentially the same thing. The father passes his color to his daughters. The mother passes her color to her sons. When the chicks hatch you are 99% sure who is what. (There is always that Weirdo that shows up!)

I have considered trying a hatch from my Dominique girls and a red Ameracuana rooster. It probably would make sex links, but the two girls I have are only half Dominique (their daddy gave them their coloring, their moms were Ameracuana....).

As a friend once said, "It's all in how the DNA dice roll!"
