Sex- linked Information

Anyone crossed a RIR roo and black sex link hens? Love to see some pics if you have

You'll likely get mostly black birds with red leakage, and some red birds. No sex linkage from this cross.

50% of the chicks will be wheaten looking(as RIR) and 50% of them will be black with cream underbelly(just like BSL hen looked at hatch).. now the RIR looking chicks will grow to look very much RIR and the Black ones will have even more Red leakage than mother due to homozygosity of restriction genes found on RIR(like Columbian and Mahognay)

I have a Buckeye rooster over a pure barred rock that hatched a male black sex link with the white spot on its head. Yay, looks like it works.

Would there be any sex link traits with a Buckeye over a black Cochin female?

Solid black cochin, no. I believe a silver laced would make sex links..

OK so I have another question. I have 8 silkie over D'Uccle babies cooking in their shells right now. I heard from someone on another thread that those babies will be six linked. Boys will have black skin and girls will have white/yellow. any truth to that? Seems too good to be true.

is the Other way around, the girls will have all black skin and the males will have white skin, now this only works of the male side of that cross is the Silkie one AND... The mother had white/yellow shanks..

Thanks... That is our situatuation. This is really very exciting. Those babies are hatching this weekend and i will be able to tell right away. hope to keep a boy and a girl and sell the rest. Going to breed both to silkies. Working on a Silkied D'Uccle.

post pics when they hatch.. we really dont need their chick down to be dry to have them sexed, thats what so cool about this sexlinked cross, that you can sex them even before they completely break loose from the egg, while other Sexlinks or Autosexing chicks need to have the chick down all dry to sex them

here take a look at this thread, I predicted the outcome very well, the cross was a Silkie rooster x Wyandotte hen.. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/704161/genetics-take-a-guess-before-hatch-pics I predicted Sexlinks(females with dark skin, males with white/yellow skin) and it was as I predicted, you will have the same outcome(skin color wise)
