Did you do any of these crosses?

i am not sure what some of those would create, but they wouldn't be "sex link" , the wrong parent is silver gened. Also the Barred Rock crossing would not create a black hen, likely both male and female offspring would be off color silver columbian, with the roos showing more barring, they may actually be sex linked with the males darker??? maybe

Sorry, no. Crossing E/E (solid barred) with a Columbian just creates black or barred with a little leakage on the breast and neck. And they would be sex-linked, as sex-linking refers to both silver or barring being used. In this case it is barring, so the females will be silver or gold, true, but will be black with silver or gold leakage. The males will be barred. They're black sex-links

You're thinking of gold sex-links.

What do I choose for silver coronation in kippenjungle chicken calculator?? I can't find an option amongst either silver colours or white.

I know this is an old thread but I had to chime in because I have a Light Sussex rooster and an assortment of hens, ( Ameraucana, Buff Orpington, New Hampshire,
Red Star, Silver Laced Wyandotte). Most of the offspring are silver Columbian, except the offspring of the Buff Orpington which are unicolor silvers ( white ).

Next year I plan to breed more Light Sussex Rooster x Buff Orpington hen crosses, 100% unicolor silvers.
