Olive Egger Sex Link Lost?

[ClassyCluckersFarm]

I have a F2 Olive Egger Rooster who was bred from a French Copper Maran Roo and a Cream legbar hen. I bred him with another F2 Olive Egger from the same parents. The babies that just hatched all of them but 2 have white spots on their heads. Would this cross breeding still produce true sex links? Did I just end up with 8 Roos?!

I don't think they would be sex linked

Is that because of the barring from the rooster?

Sex linkage doesn't pass down like that.
Breeds that are auto sexing like Cream Legbars take a long time and a lot of diligence to make.

Only a few breeds are sex linked cream Legbars black stars and red stars are the only ones I know off the top of my head

Black and red stars aren't breeds, they're mixes.

The babies are both head sotted because dad has a barring gene that will be given to half of his sons and half of his daughters

Thank you. I find chicken genetics so interesting, but super confusing! If I use my copper maran roo as the father, does that mean the head spotting will be males?

Only if the female has barring
