Options for creating Sex-Linked Silkies?

[Chickenlady0512]

I breed silkies and it just so happens they are sex-linked due to the colors I chose, but I don't advertise it as I'd sell all the pullets and be stuck with all of the roosters.

Here's where I get most of my info: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...n-color-genetics.1219858/page-2#post-19511066

If you want more genetics other than sex:

Good luck!

Does this work for mottled silkies too?

The only thing I've learned about mottled silkies is just like buffs, you need a pair to make them. If you breed a buff to another, you get a unique bird. I'm pretty sure my one mottled hen counts as a black hen when not bred to another mottled.

This is whom I'm speaking of. I don't even know if I want to get her a male as she's a satin silkie and I rather not breed satins.
