Sex-Linked chicks ?

[sherrydeanne]

Barred hens work, not barred roos. A barred roo over something doesn't make a sexlink

Well it didn't work in my coop sherrydeane. I used a black rooster on a barred rock hen and I got black pullets and barred cockerels.

The male carry the sex link in birds.


RIR X Barred = black sex link.

Female birds cant produce sex link color unless mated to a sex link color male.
