Is a Golden Sebright Roo Possible?

[bantambetty2024]

I'm planning to breed my Golden Sebright hen with my Silver Sebright rooster. I'm looking forward to getting some Silver Sebright hens as I don't have any yet. Upon researching, I believe that all of their chicks will be Silver, with the roos having a Silver/yellow sheen?

That being said, I'm wondering if it's possible to breed a Golden Sebright rooster with their offspring?

Thank you.

You are correct. And if you breed a gold Sebright rooster with their silver daughters you will get sexlinks. Male chicks will be silver with the silver/yellow sheen and females will be gold.

Thank you. Is it possible to then breed a Golden Sebright with their offspring? That is, will the Silver/yellow males carry a Golden gene that can be expressed in future offspring?

Yes
A gold female bred with a silver/yellow male will produce gold and silver/yellow males.
