No. The female has to be barred and the male has to be non-barred for the chicks to be sex linked that way.

Okay thanks

You're welcome! I should add that all the chicks from that cross will be barred since they will all get a copy of the barring gene from the father.

They will be mostly black but could have some red coloring in some areas, but it will all be barred.

If i crossed these chicks with a barred rock later on would that make them sight sexable later on
