Nope...I'm the worst person to ask about crosses, coloring, genetics, etc.Ŵhen you cross a barred hen to a solid color rooster you get sex linked chicks. Pullets will be solid colored and cockerals will be barred.
I did this cross with a Black Copper Maran rooster and a Cream Legbar hen. (This cross also gave me green egg laying hens.) I knew the sex of all chicks at hatch.
Must be solid color roo and barred hen. Opposite does not work.
I do not know how the speckled pattern of your roos would act with your barred Dominiques. You could ask on one of the breeding genetics forums.
Or maybe @Wyorp Rock knows?
Sexing chicks at hatch can be of benefit to people who don't want or can't have roosters if you want to sell chicks.
I was wondering would Speckle Sussex rooster X Barred Rock Hen be a sex linked cross?I think the speckled sussex colour is recessive so the speckles won't show up in first crosses.
I think I may know just enough to be dangerous.Nope...I'm the worst person to ask about crosses, coloring, genetics, etc.
I have no clue![]()
The light they were under, probably.Why do they look pink to me?
Let me know if you get an answer.I was wondering would Speckle Sussex rooster X Barred Rock Hen be a sex linked cross?
Meaning cockerals would hatch barred (with a head spot) and pullets hatch solid color (no head spot) ?

Would appear so.Let me know if you get an answer.
Since I am clueless about genetics, can you clarify it for me?Would appear so.
