Red Sex Links

[pfleming]

If you breed a red sex link pullet with a red sex link cockeral will you get red sex links? Or do you need to breed a RIR or New Hampshire cockeral with a delaware hen?

Here is a nice thread on sex links that gives a list of a lot of the crosses you can do. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/261208/sex-linked-information breeding two red sex links together does not give you chicks that can be color sexed at hatch... a RIR or NHR male X a Delaware female is one of the many crosses that would.

Sex links are a one time thing. Breeding sex links to sex links just gives you mixed breed birds that can be several different colors, none of which are linked to their sex.
