if you cross a rhode island red rooster over a rhode island white hen, are the girl chicks ALWAYS brown and the boy chicks ALWAYS white?

Vaccines? My birds were never vaccinated...

Canadian government doesn't want any birds from the USA unless they are tested or...wait a minute, did I say vaccinated? Ooops, no you don't have to do that, just test them for disease.

No. White isn't what is used in red sex links... I think. Silver is.... I've also never EVER seen a Rhode Island White.
Red and white will give you white chicks if dominant white, or red chicks if recessive white.

Oh.

I know, it is going to be killing my wallet for my whole poultry breeding career

I know. I've seen one photo of one rooster once. They are pretty much extinct I think.
