What gender?

[ChickBro]

It would be extremely difficult to tell. Who are the parents? That might help.

RIR Rooster and California white hen.

RIR Rooster and California white hen.

For both of them?

 

[ChickBro]

For both of them?

Yeah.

RIR Rooster and California white hen.

.....why did you think they were black sexlinks then? Am I confused? Does a RIR and California white magically create a BSL?

 

[Mamatomany123]

Wait, would a RIR and california white create black chicks at all??? I dont think you have the parents right, right? I'm so confused.

 

[Meri Maura]

If anything that would make a RSL

 

[Meri Maura]

A BSL is a RIR and a BPR I think

Right, so theres no way these chicks came from a California white then.

A California white hen is a cross between a California grey and a white leghorn. So, if the California white has a barred gene then breeding the RIR rooster and CW hen would have a 50% chance of being black, and a 50% of being white.I got lucky and got 2 black.There was a blond chick that pipped but did not hatch .
