So I crossed.... **UPDATED WITH PICTURES**

[SarahFair]

I crossed a Barred Rock hen with a Black Jersey Giant Roo

Today the eggs hatched.
Would these be sexlinks?
What should I expect these little buggers to turn out like??

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Yes, that should create a sex-link. Barred boys, black girls.

So the ones with the traditonal dot on the head like a barred rock has is a boy?
Some have the traditional penguin look and some have both white spot on head and penguin look

Stop holding out on us! We want photos!

Oh please post pics when you can!

I just asked about this cross last night. I would love to get a Barred Giant eventually.

I would love to see photos, I am planning on crossing my Cherry Egger Roo with my Jersey Giant hens. I cannot wait to see what you hatched. I also have a couple Splash Giant babies I will cross next year to see what I get.

Not sex linked.

Barred hen X black roo should be sex-linked. Why do you say they aren't?
