Sexlinked chickens are sexed differently than regular chicks right? If so or if not, how would you sex a black sex linked chick?

Well, if it comes from a barred parent only the males will have a white spot on the head or barring. The females will be all black.

Just dropping by to say a quick howdy and good day to everyone. I'm sitting at the tax office waiting my turn... (I'd insert the nausea smiley face but I'm on my mobile and it won't let me insert any faces)

I wouldn't know the parent part of the genes, they are coming from the farm store

Do you know where the farm store gets their chicks from? If it's a hatchery you could look up that website and in the breed description it might tell you.
