First up is my buff laced polish roo crossed with a red sex-link hen:
This is a male

Next is again my buff laced polish roo crossed with my buff and white Easter Egger hen:
This is a female

Then there is my buff laced polish roo crossed with my black jersey giant hen:
This is a female

Another one has yet again been my buff laced polish roo but crossed with a buff Orpington hen:
This is a female

The last one I'll share with you all is my buff laced polish roo and leghorn hen cross:
This is a female

These aren't all of my mixed breed birds but they are some of my favorites. All of them are about six months old. And I'll share a pic of their dad while I'm at it, his name is Elvis

(Yes he is molting so his tail is missing

)

If I had found this thread several months ago I could of sent in tons of photos! But I sold all my cross breeds.
I now who the parents are and can explain some, father: blue splash maren, mother: believe it is a barred Plymouth rock, the cross looked like a barred Plymouth rock,but instead of black and white, two different shades of blue.

The Black with a little white looks like he has a lot of leghorn in him. The buff and white look like a Buff Orpington x White Leghorn.

Rhode Island Red rooster (hatchery) over White Leghorn hen (hatchery)


cockerel on the left, pullet on the right in both photos (blue splash marans behind them). The pullet looks a bit grayish, like she's permanently dirty.

Weird. Usually that cros makes an RSL.

No a RIR rooster over White Leghorn will not give a Red Sex Link, never.

A White Leghorn is dominant white. It is not based on silver. Silver is what you need in a red sex link cross.

Do ant white cannot completely cover red hence the red spots on the white background.

I'm thinking about trying to hatch some Red Sex Link's.

So.. It took a longtime to go through the entire thread, but I couldn't find any Buff Orph Roo X SLW pics. I know they will be Red Sex Link but would love to see pics before I actually hatch some eggs. Does anyone happen to have this cross? The only thing I've read about them is that sometimes it's hard to tell at hatch male from female, because of the light gold... Is this accurate? And does anyone have pics of this cross?
