I don't think you can make a sex link with that rooster.

Here's the info on making sex links:

Ok, I am going to sound ignorant, which I am when it comes to chickens, but what the heck does sex linked mean?

It is a cross between two different breeds of chickens. If you cross the correct breed of rooster over the correct breed of hen, the male and female chicks should be two diff. colors at hatch. That isn't a very good explanation, but that is basically what it is.
