Silver penciled rock x speckled sussex ?

[BusyBearMama]

I have a young silver penciled rock cockerel and I just can't have more roosters here than I have now but I don't have any pullets for him specifically which is a bummer on one hand but on the other I'm thinking of putting him with my other plymouth rocks for fun and hatching a few and I was thinking that then I might keep him in with my speckled sussex that we are going to use as a project sort of because my husband wants some decent sized cockerels for his meat coop/ pen & tractor and I want some neat looking good laying friendly pullets... What would that combination look like roughly? Any chance it would sex link do you think? And what would we possibly be looking at size wise. At the moment I have just 1 little sussex pullet who's not laying yet and some on the way, but have lots of other breeds I'm just starting to figure genetics out so any advice and thoughts are appreciated thanks

Should make some nice chicks.
Sexlinked no. If it were reversed with a Dpeckked Sussex rooster over the Silver Penciled hens they would be Sexlinked but with the SP rooster on SS hens they wouldn't be Sexlinked. Sorry.
