Sex- linked Information

[SonnyLTPI]

HI, The adult pair at the bottom produce these two colors of chicks consistently either solid black with black feet or solid yellow and yellow feet can you help identify the breed please

If the ones that aren't GLW are Black Sex Links, how would I go about breeding for Wybars? I know they're basically extinct in the US in regards to large fowl, but there are those that are trying to bring them back. I know I won't get show quality Wybars my first go round, but I think they are such a beautiful breed, and I'd like to have some for my personal flock. Wybars, from what I've read, are an auto-sexing breed. I've read that you get Wybars from crossing a GLW or SLW roo over Barred Rock hen...so how do I get from BSL to Wybar??

Check this link. At the bottom of the page is a breeding chart that may help answer your question.

The hen looks to be a cross between something black and something dominant white. If you were in the US I would guess Austra White, which is a cross between a white leghorn and a black australorp. I am pretty sure the color will not be sexlinked. I'll bet you will see some red leakage in at least some of the chicks as they feather out.

I notice the rooster's picture is from an album titled "rhode island red roo I think" I can't be sure what he is, but it's not RIR. Too much black.

The hen is columbian patterned, the black feathering is only on the neck and tail. Dominant white crosses have random 'flecks' of black. The hen has the right genes for producing red sexlinks. It's the rooster that is the problem. He is likely the same color genetically as a 'Black Copper' or 'Brown Red'. That basically means he's red/gold base color, but birchen patterning. The birchen pattern produces black chicks. You won't be able to sex the black chick until it starts to feather in. The yellow chick is probably male.

the yellow chicks down becomes reddish before feathering.
Her first clutch of 12 with a different male were all yellow and feather out 4 were white with black marking like her and the other 8 red with black tips. 2 boys 10 girls egg city in a few months
She always lays large brown eggs

This is a prime example of why you need to be careful in choosing the rooster for red sexlinks. A solid red rooster won't have any completing genes that will affect the sexing of the chicks at hatch. The same can't be said for red base color roosters with other pattern genes.
Unlike breeding black sexlinks, where just about any rooster will do, for red sexlinks you have to be careful that the rooster's genetics won't hide the base down color.

This pair was given to me mostly I am breeding game fowl for sale in the Philippines. I breed the pair shown for food, eggs and market purposes

Would I be able to use a Cream Legbar rooster for sex links?

Nope, he'll pass his barring to all offspring... need a solid color roo and a Lagbar hen... then she only passes her barring to her sons...

Maybe. It depends on what kind of sexlinks you want. He's useless for black sexlinks, but should work for red sexlinks, provided the hen is silver and not dominant white. It may take a few hatches before you are good at picking out the differences in the male down from the female down.
