Sex links...

[LocoPollo]

I have a question about sex links. First, if you order a straight run and then breed them, what will the chicks look like? and second, how do you make sex links?

sex linking only works on the first generation. After that they are mutts.

Here is a link to my thread on my little ones out of Black and Brown sex link hens and a Black sex link roo.

Black Sex-links are a RIR or NHR Roo x BR hen

Red Sex-links are a RIR or NHR roo x WHite rock or SLW or RIWhite, or Delaware hen.
