Leakage in Wyandotte’s

[Thatothercrazychickenlady]

So as a little project I’ve been hatching eggs from my silver laced Wyandotte hen and my blue laced red Wyandotte rooster. I was wondering if I notice the chick is silver laced with a bit of gold leakage does that pretty much guarantee that it’s a male? I’m guessing it’s just a slight visual representation of them getting silver gene from mom and red/gold from dad. But could be wrong.
I’m not sure if my birds are set up for sex linkage (didn’t bother looking at the parents when I got them smart right) anyways my first hatch I had 3 eggs hatch. 3 silver laced one with gold leakage. All turned out to be cockerels. This time 5 hatched. 2 gold lace and 3 silvers which I noticed 2 have leakage. Starting to think the birds were set up for sex link chicks. Would be cool to be able to sexe them this early on.
Here’s a pic from the first hatch of what I’m calling leakage. Could be using wrong terms to aha

Not showing these guys or anything to serious. Just love the colours and thought I’d play around for a pet flock of pretty birds.

Yes, as the pullets can only be gold(s+/-), but the roosters will be "Golden" S/s+, they will hatch silver looking and will start to show a straw/yellow on the hackle/saddle/back, but the breast and underside will remain Silver

this is the result of a gold laced wyandotte and Silver Laced(notice its not much red enhanced)

X2 Sexlinks. The golden bit will only show up in his hackle and saddle feathers, but is very obvious at hatch, as he would appear silver in contrast to the gold female chicks.
You have two pullets and three cockerels.

What about the leakage on the wing of the chick in the picture? That means any of my chicks that look like that are guaranteed cockerels?

It seems fairly leakage free to me, but I am afraid that any birds that look like him are cockerels, yes.
