Yes I know that I raise OEGB's If you cross a SDW over a BBR you will get a GDW and the Males do SOMETIMES look different. If you do it the other way around you get laughed at by the Judges.
My argument is sex-links are for producing a one time cross for egg production and or meat. Sex linked chick are easy to sex and works 100% of the time. NO guessing. You can sex from across the room.
Call what you are doing sexlinking if you want. It's not according to industry standards.

You could always order some of my sex-links eggs, Barred Rock hens with a Black Copper Marans roo

I haven't hatched any yet so I have no idea what they look like

That's aside the "purebred" point, but Cuckoo Marans x Black Copper Marans works. In fact people use that crossing quite often to create Golden Cuckoos.

So how do you know they are sex-links??

I think your idea of a Sex-link is very limited.

Notice the use of the word crossing. That's what you guys are doing. You may get sexlinks from this ? but the F1s are not sexlinks.

Oh by the way I'm done!

Males are Black and have a White spot on there head ans are solid Black with no White Spot.
