You may be correct however breeding a RIR to a RIW DOES gives you a red sexlink as does RIR to Barred Rocks gives a black sexlink.
You can look this up at Ideal Poultrys web site.
I think what saladin is trying to say is you can't just pick ANY red bird and breed to ANY white, you need specific matches for the cross to be a sexlink. RIR roo x RIW hen is a red sexlink from which you'll get red hens and white roos.
