Sexlink Thread- Pictures and Discussion

[Duramaxgirl]

Does anyone have some photos of chicks from a GLW or BLRW roo over a SLW hen. I'm looking for photos of chicks or adults. I'm thinking of doing this cross. Also any info from others that have done this cross would be great! I believe I read it was a sex link. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have either of those birds. Good luck, though!

This morning was a bit of chaos. Poppy laid her egg early in the morning (as always), but then Flutter had to lay her egg a little later. So Flut was in the favorite nesting box taking her sweet time (seriously- she was in that box for over an hour! The other chickens just lay an egg and leave but Flutter milks as much attention as she can out of it) and Poppy started calling the alarm call looking for Flutter. Then Lily ran around looking for her doing the same thing. "Buc-buc-buc-buc-AWKKKKK!" Was heard all through the yard. Then Gamma needed to lay her egg and Flut was still in the box. I put Gamma in another box but does she want to lay her egg? NOOOOO. She wants to lay her egg in the BLUE nesting box, not the pink one! So she goes outside complaining as loud as she can. Then Flutter finally gets out, screeches the egg song, and Lily jumps into the box that Gamma was waiting for

You gotta love Sexlinks

I've never done this cross, but I once saw pics on BYC of some GLW x SLW sexlinks. If I'm remembering correctly, the females looked like purebred GLWs and the males looked like purebred SLWs. If you try using the BYC search button you may find the pics. Hopefully someone can help you out better!
