What sex link does this cross make?

[MidnightChickenLover]

Rhode Island Red male and White Plymouth Rock females...?

Some type of red sex link. Not sure which one, there's a lot of them!

It may not make a Sexlink if the White Rock hens don't have the silver genes, and some white rocks don't, but if it did I believe it would make hens that look like RIRs and whiteish roos. Look at the sticky on Sexlinks at the top of the Breeds, Genetics, and Showing page.

This cross is a very popular cross that production breeders use to get a Gold sex-link hybrid egg layers.

They go by a number of different names but are basicly all the same type: Golden sex-links, Golden Comets, Red Stars, ISA Browns, Golden Buffs, ect.... some also call them red sex-links which they could be classed as but they are acctually different in type though.

Anyway check out tadkersons sticky thread on sex-links at thetop of the Breeds,Genetics and Showing sec. here on the BYC.
