Sexlink Thread- Pictures and Discussion

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.

A BCM rooster and Delaware hen will make black selxlinks though right?

Will I get a sex link when I cross my White or light cream color EE with my RIR Roo also have another EE that is laced with copper light and dark brown colors will I get sex link when she mates with my RIR Roo ? The chick that are darker seem to be feathering in faster. Light chipmunk pattern seem to be shorter wing feathers as well .

Ryan,

Yes works for black sex linked but not red sex linked. I was under the impression they wanted to make a red sex linked cross.

BCM over SLW will not make any kind of sex linked cross.

Thought I'd post pics of some Sexlink chicks I hatched (in all the pics the males are on the left and females on the right).

Rhode Island Red rooster x Silver Laced Wyandotte hens...
