Sex- linked Information

Blue Isbar Roo...not mine

I am also planning to hatch birchen Marans eggs. Are you saying that either of these crossed with a Delaware hen produce blue sex links?

Yes in project form. Getting better each generation. You have seen some pictures on the barred EE thread I started. Some of my fellow club members do not like the idea so I post on EE threads. Lavender cuckoo also. I have some cuckoo/lav cuckoo splits growing. 1 more hatch in the incubator and currently collecting sex links from the same hens after a rooster change.

yes, and you can cross them to cuckoo Maran hens to produce Olive Eggers that are sexlinked at hatch... Nice..

No, Isbars are not Barred, even if the name implies it

x2 the breed was not "finished" as silverudd intended so they are not barred.

someOne should have picked up where he left and make them Autosexing by introducing sex linked barring..

Quote: That, or change the name so it's not misleading

So that would be the project we were discussing on the Bielefelder thread Right?

Using a sex link chicken in a pairing will not create sex link offspring. Sorry. You must start out with a pure bred chicken with barring instead.
