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.

cool! i have both of those colors of OEG bantams.

then they are probably a cross with ether a NH or RIR roo and a RIW or White Rock hen with the silver gene aded.

If you are trying for red sex-link chicks, can you use the cornish x female for the white/silver mother w/ the red male?

Really ? The comb must be leaning towards the camera I guess but it sure looked like a rose. But you got her from a feedstore then she probably is a regular hatchery sexlink and wouldnt be from a SLW hen if she has a single comb.

But they may not be too easy to see. I've never had either of them but from pics I've seen, Silver and Golden OEs look about the same as chicks so they may be hard to sex as chicks.

About like crossing BC Marans to Birchin Marans would give Sexlinks but with both colors being mostly black as chicks, its would be hard to sex them.
