Quote: Yep, The hens each are carrying one copy of dominant white. Over the long haul you'd expect half their chicks by a Barred Rock to be white.

See. .I knew I joined for a reason I can expect that sex has nothing to do with color then. .. that makes me happy

Quick questions for the experts. I have some adults that where sexlinked. Black copper maran over golden cuckoo marans where used. Out of the resulting chicks that are now adults I have one cuckoo roo and black copper hens. When I cross them back will I get black copper or Cuckoo?

Both, but not sexed linked. The roo carries only 1 barred gene (from his mom), but will pass it to 50% of both sex chicks.

Thanks for answering my question and so fast! One more quick question. If I use a pure BCM roo over the black girls will I still have the cuckoo popup?

 

[Ridgerunner]

No. The BCM does not carry barring. The hen from a black sex link cross does not have any barring. That's why the black sex link works, only the male chicks have barring. You will not get any barred or cuckoo chicks from that cross.
