Sex- linked Information

[Arielle]

THe lemon barred are one of my favorites! I have a buff barred boy and a another rooster with columbian, I think as he has black in his tail feathers, that is a carmel barred rooster. Carmel boy is his name, my kids named him! Easy to remember.

I've been trying to figure out who the parents are for the buff barred--maybe blacksexlink(barrred) on a buff orpington; carmel boy has a partidge mother and a blacksexlink father.

THanks for eveyones help.

Lemon Cuckoo
Orpingtons. $12 Shipping is $42 to VA or pickup no cost
These are
not splits and are double
barred English Lemon
Cuckoo Orpingtons from
two unrelated blood
lines. The birds are
simply beautiful with
their white bars against
their bright lemon
yellow feathers. They
make a great addition to
anyone looking for that
eye catching chicken
that is sure to turn heads
in the backyard or on a
spacious farm.
The English Lemon
Cuckoo Orpington are a
rare breed of large fowl
chicken that display
gorgeous feathers that
appear to 'puff' out from
their body and give the
birds a 'fluffy'
appearance. Lemon
Cuckoo Orpingtons that
are derived from
multiple hatches from a
Split Lemon Cuckoo
Orpington origin do not
always display the look of
the 'fluffy' English style
appearance. These were
not project birds from a
split, but rather English
Lemon Cuckoo
Orpingtons where the hen
and rooster were imports.
****BEWARE THAT
BREEDERS ARE

Delewares are barred Columbian

This is not correct, Delawarse are not columbian........
Delaware Chicken

Delaware chickenDelawares, originally called “Indian Rivers,” were developed by George Ellis of Delaware in 1940 and were used for the production of broilers. The breed originated from crosses of Barred Plymouth Rock roosters and New Hampshire hens. A few off-colored sports were produced that were almost white with black barring on the hackles, primaries, secondaries, and tail. This coloration is very similar to the Colombian color pattern, but with the barring substituting for the black sections. For about twenty years the Delaware and the Delaware x New Hampshire cross were the most popular broiler chickens on the Delmarva Peninsula, because of the Delaware’s ability to produce offspring with predominately white feathering. This is an advantage for carcass appearance since white feathers don’t leave dark spots on the skin when feathers are growing in. Both the Delaware and the Delaware x New Hampshire were replaced in the late 1950's by the Cornish x Rock cross (solid white) that has come to dominate the industry.

Delaware males may be mated to New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red females and produce chicks of the Delaware color pattern. Delaware females mated to New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red males produced sex-linked offspring; the males having the Delaware color pattern and the females having the solid red color of the sires. Chicks from this second cross can even be sexed by their down color when hatched.

Though its economic dominance was short lived, the Delaware still makes an excellent dual-purpose bird. It has well-developed egg and meat qualities, and a calm and friendly disposition. The breed is noted for rapid growth and fast feathering of the chicks. Cocks grow to 8 pounds and hens to 6 pounds. They have moderately large combs and medium sized head and neck. Their body is moderately long, broad, and deep. The keel is also long, extending well to front at the breast and rear of the legs. The legs are well set apart and are large and muscular.

GHostrider--as I am reading this, delawares as the female is bred to a RIR = sexlinked chicks. Because of silver OR because of barring??

after ALL of this, they are still Barred Columbian....

[nicalandia]

dont be confused, Delawares are sex linked Barred and carry Columbian restrictor(Co) and are based on sex link Silver(if they were based on gold they would be all barred except the barring would be gold and white)

 

[Breshcandra]

Is it true that you can have a sex-link off of black skin?

Meaning If my rooster is a silkie (black skin) and I breed it with an EE with yellow skin then the pullets would all be black skin?
