Genetics of this cross

[sabianshepherds]

I breed dogs, so I am a serious student of genetics.

I have two hens ( I think). One has the body of a barred rock, but it is buff/barred with white feet.

The other has the feathers of a BO, but it has yellow feet.

There's a barred rock, buff orphington thing going on here.

I would like to know which cross (barred roo x BO hen) or (BO roo x barred hen) created the barred/buff cross, and would the offspring be sex linked?

No simple cross would make these.
Both the absence of black pattern and the yellow shanks are recessive traits.

Buff Orp over Barred Hen will give you sex links(barred males, none barred hens)

you can go the Lemon cuckoo way


or if you use RIR instead of buff you can have red barred birds

It will give barred males and non barred hens, but it most likely won't work well for sexing day old chicks. A light head spot on yellow down is impossible to see.
At least that's the case with my yellow chicks. I can never tell which ones are barred and which ones are not barred, until they are about 2 or 3 weeks old.
