Golden lace wyandotte x silver lace wyandotte

[Sailor opy]

Looking to breed my golden rooster to mu silver hen. What would the offspring look like? Need reference pictures please

Cockerels will be silver laced, pullets will be gold laced.

Yup, sexlinked wyandottes! I plan on breeding these at some point, just because wyandottes are beautiful and sexlinking would be sooo useful. The pullets would look just like their dad pattern wise with a little possible leakage, and the cockerels would also look like SLW roos (again, leakage is a possibility)!

Cool

HOWEVER if you were to cross a silver rooster on a gold hen, ALL offspring would be silver. (IF the rooster is homozygous for silver and doesn't carry a gold gene.) If the rooster is silver and DOES carry a gold gene, you could get chicks of both genders in both colors.

Pullets would be gold laced. Cockerels will be "golden" laced. They will hatch looking like silver laced but they won't mature to look SL. They'll be in between with a yellowish color instead of gold.
The other way around will produce silver laced pullets and the same "golden" cockerels.

Huh, I'd just read that somewhere else. So they'd be sexable at birth, but, as they grew older, would start to look more and more like each other. If I hadn't known this and started breeding sex links, I likely would have been staring at my gold and sort-of gold chickens and wondering where my roos went
