Not a Plymouth Barred Rock

[Michael OShay]

Hi

You do realise that crossing a black sex link with a black sex link will not give you a black sex link, don't you?
ie. they are not a breed (but a hybrid) and will therefore not breed true or give you a sex linked chicks unfortunately..

He is absolutely stunning though and if he has a great temperament too, then I probably would keep him regardless of lack of breeding potential, although I'm quite partial to farmyard mutts anyway.

Hope I haven't totally burst your bubble

Regards

X3 on that. You will just get mutt birds as sex links are already hybrids and therefore will not breed true. Odds are though that you will get some pretty good layers out of the offspring, although not likely to the BSL mother's lay rate.
