sex links

[Adolfo Sanchez]

Would I get any sex link chickens by crossing a barred Rock roo with a Rhode Island Red?
How about a Blue Andalusian Roo and a White leghorn hen?

No, you won't If it had been the other way around and your hen was BR and your roo was RIR you would have though. Check this thread for excellent sex link info.

Many common varieties are known as the black sex-link (also called Black Stars) and the red sex-link (also called Red Stars).[2] More specific variety names are common as well. Blacks are a cross between a Rhode Island Red orNew Hampshire rooster and a Barred Rock hen. Red sex-links are a cross between a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a White Rock (This variety pair is known as a Golden Comet), Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen. One example of a red linked breed is the Red Shaver. Europe has the Cream Legbar (an actual true-breeding pure breed) and ISA Brown sex-links, which also are found in Canada.[3]
