Golden Laced Wyandotte?

[SamCro1988]

It depends. Would you use a pullet from the first cross or a hatchery black sex link?

I don't know. just a hypothetical. what would be the difference?

Well, most hatchery black sex links are created from a Rhode Island Red male over a barred Rock female. The genetics of the offspring of a hatchery cross will be different from a cross of a gold laced Wyandotte male over a barred Rock female. The phenotype (appearance of the bird) of the 2 crosses may look the same (black or barred) but the genotype is different (they carry different genes). Therefore if both are bred to a gold laced Wyandotte the outcome will be different.

I see. thanks for all the help
