Red sex link

[Vero272]

Yes, I can see why you have a question. With those parents you should not get a white chick. That rooster is not a red sex link male, at least first generation. His parents may have both been red sex links.

Looking forward to the photo of that chick. I think it will have a white body and a red head when it feathers out. @NatJ, that makes me think Birchen crossed with dominant white. Vero272, for that to happen that rooster could be the father but the mother would probably be black with a red or white head.

Every hens on my neighborhood are alllll red sex link we have zero variety I will definetely take the road to find myself different kinds next time I want more chickens!

Pretty rooster!

Something clearly got mixed up in the breeding pen at the hatchery, because a Red Sexlink male is not supposed to look like that!

My neighbour told me he got frost bite on his crest last winter! That’s why it looks like that

I was referring to the coloring: a Red Sexlink male is supposed to be mostly white, often with some red blotches in the shoulder area, but not that nice red over most of his body.

For the comb, yes frost bite would account for the smooth top instead of the usual points on it.

In that case, I don't know what to say, other than to see how it looks when it grows feathers.

I would also love to see updated pics as it grows. If it has a white body and red head, that would be so cool!
