New to chicken genetics and finding it confusing so wanted to clear up some things.

I have gold laced Barnevelder roo and was wondering:

1) If I bred him with a Barred Cuckoo Maran hen would I get black sex-linked chicks?

2) What would occur -if anything- if he is bred with a Copper Black Maran?

3) Which are the better hen breeds to bred him with for red sex-linked chicks?


I'm trying to work off of image below but still finding genetics confusing.

1) Yes
2) The offspring would be essentially the same color as their mother.
3 Frankly, I don't know which chicks are easiest to identify when it comes to silver gold sexlinks. In many cases, silver and gold chicks look quite similar to me.

Perfect thank you so much. Looking at adding some more girls to the flock so Cuckoo Marans are making the list! :jumpy
