sex links

[Big_Red]

will a buff orpington rooster x barred rock hen produce a sex link?

buff orpington rooster x silver laced wyandotte?

Yes, both will produce sex-links:

Buff Orpington over Barred Rock = Black Sex Link
Buff Orpington over Silver laced Wyandotte = Red Sex Link (will probably have rosecombs-at least part of them will)

Heeeeeey while we're here... do you mind if I hijack this to ask if my little black chick from a Australorp hen and a Red Sexlink Rooster might be sexable right now.

Nope, that baby is not sex-linked in color.

You can't use a sex link to create more sex links.
