I was wondering what the results would be from crossing a sexlinked breed like pilgrim or cotton patch, with a none sexlinked type like brown Chinese?

I ask these because I’m about to get some cotton patch, and I already have some African x Chinese. The Cotton Patch are too closely related to breed, and I’ll probably have to wait until next year to get any more. Because I’m at the bottom of other peoples lists for this season.
I’d cross them for meat. But if I could ID and sale the females, and only grow out ganders I think that would be rather beneficial.
 
You will get a barnyard mix. Sex links are already hybrids of two different breeds and cannot make other sex links - crossing a hybrid with anything else is a barnyard mix. You’ll still get a bird that lays a lot of eggs; just not as many as it’s sex linked parent.

I said it wrong. It’s auto-sexing in geese. It’s nothing like sex-linked chickens. There are at least 3 breeds of geese that have this, it’s not a cross they breed true. The ganders are always white, and the female geese are always a shade of Gray. Shetland, Pilgrim, and Cotton Patch all have this trait.
