Sex- linked Information

[The Moonshiner]

After I posted I thought of something.
I'm not real familiar with lakenvelder. Are goldens buff?
If so that could throw things off.
For such a simple looking color buff is really complexed.
I don't have a ton of experience crossing it with other colors or patterns but from what I've seen it seems less likely to play by the rules then any other color.
They will still work for sex links but the pullets will have a lighter down color then the regular red sex links so there won't be quite the contrast between the sexes as with regular red sex links.
Issues may come up if you do the crosses back and forth and then expect the golden to be golden if they're buff.
If that makes sense

Here’s a picture I found on google. I guess they are buff.

Can a Dominique hen be substituted for the Plymouth Barred Rock hen in the chart below? Would auto sexing be achieved if the Dominique hen was used?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Yes and yes

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Yes and yes

Thank you.

Guess I should of mentioned I think that chart is missing some peices but you can use a Dominique and achieve auto sexing.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that chart looked odd!

I'm pretty sure you can use anything that presents as barred/cuckoo because the hen will always pass on barring to male chicks.

I used a Buff Orpington over Barred Rocks and they were still easy to sex by sight on hatch, females were either all black or had just a bit of red on their face, the males had quite a bit of yellow. The pullets ended up black with a LOT of gold splashed across the front when grown, as buff isn't as easily restricted as red.

This was a female, with just a bit of red to her cheeks:

This was a male, lots of pale yellow on the face:

Do it have any pictures of them matured?
