Sexlink Thread- Pictures and Discussion

The first one is a young Rooster and isn't a Sex-link. If he was a Sex-link he would be Barred (Black Sex-link) or White (Red Sex-link)
The second one looks to be a Mille Fleur pattern on a Belgian Bearded d'Uccle cross.
Third is just a cross.

Hi all! Can anybody tell me if a BCM rooster over Delawares or SLW would produce sexlink babies? If the BCM rooster won't what rooster will? Thanks

What are your averages ages sex-links starting to lay? My black sex link is probably my favorite out there but she is 6 months and 0 eggs. I also have a golden comet female 4 months. She just started getting red in the comb so I'm thinking she will start soon. Just wondering.

Newest members....4 day old sexlinks......thats what they were labeled.

Sure would. The hens should lay nice dark eggs too.

I have to disagree with a previous post. BCM should be birchen at the E locus and this allele will not work in sex linked crosses. You can not produce a red sex linked cross using birchen unless the mother carries dominant white and the silver gene. If the mother was a delaware carrying dominant white (homozygous) the cross would work.

Read the following article. I wrote the article so that chicken fanciers could educate themselves. The delaware is a good choice for the female side of the red sex linked cross.
