Genetics help - BR male, Barnevelder female cross?

[mydaisy]

I have a BR rooster and later down the road would like to hatch eggs from my Gold Double Laced Barnevelder females and Black Australorp females. What would the offspring look like? I tried to follow charts that I have seen, but I am still confused.

I think they would be sexlinked silver male over gold would be silver cockerels and gold pullets

Interesting... would they have barring?

Over the austrolorp all the babys boy or girl would have barring like a female barred rock.

Over the Barnevelder, I'm not sure what the base color is for the mom, but likely the same. Or possibly brown chicks with single barring. I'm not sure how the lacing would interact, but with my BR roo the only difference I've seen mixing him with mine are some turned out grey with barring.

Male barred rocks have double barring so their babies will all have one copy.

Thank you! Very interesting.

BR is Barred Rock, right?

I would expect black chicks with white barring from the Australorps.
I would expect the same from the Barnevelders, but there is a chance of gold or silver leakage on those chicks as they grow up.

No, for at least two reasons:
--silver or gold will not be visible on black chicks with white barring. It might show up as leakage when the chicks grow up.

--silver rooster over gold hen makes silver chicks in both genders, so they cannot be sexed by color. That kind of sexlinks requires gold father, silver mother.

Thanks! Yes, a Barred Rock. I just didn't know how the lacing would play into this from the Barnevelder and then the bars from the rooster. I guess the lacing wouldn't even be coming through based on the info I have been given and have read. Pretty interesting stuff.

Correct. The lacing should not be visible in the first generation of offspring from that cross.
And the barring should show on all chicks, of both genders.

I always get that mixed up with gold cockerel over silver lol

The common red sexlinks have red females, like their red fathers (Rhode Island Red father.)

Since I can easily remember what color a red sexlink female is, and I know the colors go father-daughter and mother-son, that helps me remember that the father must be the gold one, and the mother must be silver.
