sex-link question

[cohobby]

I can never find anything on the internet that I am looking for.

If I cross a Wellsummer rooster with a Silver Laced Wyondotte can you get a sex-linked chick? Is there a web page that you recommend to find this sort of thing? I am getting ready to sort my chickens and was trying to decided where to put the Silver ladies. My other rooster is an Amerecauna.

Sorry for the misspells.

yes, they would be sex linked
I don't know how clear the distinction will be
I'm guessing the pullet chicks will be noticeably redder

is a website which is great for sorting out
the results of possible matings

distinguishing between a e+/eb Mh/mh+ S/s+ male over a e+/eb Mh/mh+ s+/- female will be a big challenge... the best e allele to use for Silver/Gold sexlinking is the Wheaten allele. where you see the chicks entire cream color. but on a wildtype chick? where they have a natural brown coloration?

just for example.. Silver Penciled Rock(eb based)

silver penciled plymouth rocks 1-2 days old

AND THE CHORUS LINE

so sexing e+/eb S/s+ e+/eb s+/- chicks its going to be quite difficult
