Wouldn't it be the same breeds except in bantam? Unless those breeds don't come in bantam...

Yes, It doesnt matter if you are breeding LF to LF, LF to Bantam, or Bantam to Bantam. If you have the right genes, you can make sexlinks.

You can probably make as many or more bantam sexlink crosses as you can with Large Fowl.

I wonder if you could do sexlink OEGBs because they come in so manny varieties.

Yes Easily so. A BBRed roo on Silver Duckwing hens would give pure BBRed hens and and roos that would look more like Golden Duckwings

But yeah any Gold gened roos with any Silver gened hens crossed together would make sexlinks that would technially be pure OEGBs and if you get the crosses right like the one above, you can even make pure colored OEGB sexlinks.

I was just wondering the same thing about bantam cochins. You would know right off the bat if you had future broodies or not. Wouldn't that be cool.

 

[Celtic Hill]

See they are even more amazing in bantam size! lol

Yep, Same thing there. Buff, Red, Partridge, Golden Laced, or Mille Fleur Cochin roos on Columbian, Silver Penciled, or Silver laced hens . Dont use Whites, you never know what they are masking.

 

[elieugene6]

and for a black sex link you would use black and barred cochins? Wondering about this in particular as I already have a pair of black.

Yes, Barred hens with a Black roo if thats what you have but any color will work other than barred or a white if its masking barring.
