Sex- linked Information

thats because most RIWs have the silver gene

Its not the Dom Whtie that is the danger in the other White breeds like White Rocks. It is becuase they are Recessive white which means they are maskin another color under the white and without knowing the genetic history of the line, there is no way to know what is being masked so it may be masking a Silver color which will work but if not, then it wont work. So they are unpredictable and that is why it is best to stay away from Rec White breeds when making sexlinks.

But RIW are what I have used and they arent Recessive white, They carry both Silver and Dominant white. The Silver is what allows them to make the Sexlinks, the Dom White is what makes the white tails in the red hens.

I guess I didnt interpate what i was reading correctly. You are a fountain of information. Thanks again Clint.

Could i use a Wheaten Aracauna (I know that spelling is not right) with a Buff orpington rooster and get sexlinked EEs?

I answered in the sexlink thread but for anyone else here wondering, No this cross doesnt work, regualar Wheaten in Ameraucanas in Gold gened so it wont work for the hen. Though a Silver Wheaten breed like Salmon Faverolle hens would work.

So I cannot breed my black sex link hen with a silver dorking rooster? Also, by black sex link hen is getting really red earlobes, and a reddish tint to her breast/neck region. Does this mean she may be getting ready to lay? I have included pics of my black sex link hen and the silver dorking roosters:

I dint see any reason why not, you would get blacks, columbians and duckwings.

Yes you can breed her, their chicks just wont be sexlinked.

And yes your hen looks like she should already be laying so if shes not yet, it should be anytime.

Here are the results from a Buff Orpington rooster and a Wheaten Ameraucana hen aside from non buffish birds:

Questions about genetics on a white leghorn...
I have a Buff Orpington Rooster and some White leghorn hens.
Will this just create white birds with buff leakage? is the White leghorns a dominate white gene?
Or is it possible to get sex-linked colors from the above mix?

If this was answered before I'm sorry to ask again I did not see it but its late
