How do you tell sex-link Roos from Hens

[Zed3]

I have a Buff Orphington broody sitting on eggs from Barred Rock and Buff O hens. The rooster is also a Buff O. From what I read the chicks will be sex-linked. How will I be able to tell the roos from the hens once they hatch? Anyone have a picture?


Thanks

Zed

Well, the BO/BR chicks will be sex-links, the BO/BO chicks will be BO

I think rareroo and cowgirl71 both have pics of this cross, the hens come out really pretty. Basically, your roosters will be silverish and the pullets goldish. I think rareroo had some good chick pics, maybe he'll post or you can go looking for him.

I was interested in this cross and went looking too, a great thread concerning this cross is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2718092
