Marans roo over Bielefelder hen - sexlink?

[KHoward]

Hi,

If I cross my BCM roo over my Biele hens, I should get a sexlink, correct? Has anyone done this and would the male offspring have a white dot and the female not have a dot?

Thanks!

That is how it would work, yes.

Non-barred rooster x barred hen = barred sons (white/yellow head spot) & non-barred daughters (no head spot)

A barred hen can only pass barring onto her sons
A barred rooster can pass barring onto any offspring

As long as the birds aren't something that cover up barring (such as white) it should work. Some colors are hard to see, though.
