Lavender Orp over Barred Rock

[sjshaw1980]

Question for the genetics folks...

Im thinking of getting a couple of nice quality barred rock hens to add to my flock, and hopefully produce some black sex links to sell. Am I correct that if I put my lavender (split to Isabel) orp roo over the barred rock hens, I would get a sex linked F1 generation and they would all be black?

Also, what would I be likely to get if I put him over crele orp hens?

They will be sex linked, but I'm not sure about black or not. Just remember that you can't breed the resulting offspring and continue to get sex links. It only works for the first generation.

Yup! I was thinking to sell the pullets and keep the cockerels for the meat pen. Just hatch out F1 crosses only.

What about the crele? There is a breeder not far from me who has them, and I’d love to see what that produces. The chicken calculator above is a bit over my head. It also said crele to crele will produce duckwings...

Nearly a year late to the party....
however, this thread shows crele x Isabel plumage. Crele X Isabel project for autosexing

Did you ever go forward with your plans?
