I hatched 5 chicks from my easter egger rooster and my saphire jem hen. 4 are black and 1 is blue. My question is since saphire jems are sex links and males show barring and have a white spot on the head,is my offspring also sex linked or does the Easter egger genes make it not possible? They are 5 weeks old now and I'm having a hard time sexing them. The grey one has almost no tail feathers so I figured roo but has no barring and not much comb growth.
