Is the RIR your only roo?
Yes. For now. Will be adding more hens so might keep a roster too.
Nope.... you only would get that result with the red over the white.
Black sex links are created with a red rooster over a barred hen, like a barred rock. BR hens only carry one copy of the barring gene and can only pass it on to their sons. Thus, the females will be all black at hatch, and the males will have a white head spot indicative of the barring gene.
So confusing! But it’s useful to learn this stuff. Thanks!
