They will be very pretty but they do not seem to be either barred or have silver. If the hens were barred and the araucana were black or blue based then you could get black sex links.

They will be very nice green egg layers though.

I crossed a RSL with a Buff Orpington, what will that do?

The dad was a Buff Orpington crossed with a Silkie. And the mom was a pure RSL.

This will not yield anything other than a barnyard mix. A "RSL" is not pure - it is a mixed breed bird in and of itself, so you are breeding two mixed breed birds and will yield mixed breed chicks. The breeding will not create any sort of sex linked traits.

Ok, thanks. Cause some are lighter than the other so I thought that they might of carried on some of the sex link genes.

I agree. You can get most any color chicks. Some of these are mixes.

What if I crossed the buff orpington/silkie rooster with a deleware?. Cause arnt both buff orpingtons and delewares used to make red sex link?
