cj, those are nice birds, i think.
wish i had gotten more feedback. oh well, not the easiest question.

Did not expect it but as it turned out the rooster i just received, a cross between a Rhode Island Red Roo over a Dekalb white hen does look like a Birchen ER and barred- the unexpected pleasant surprise (which i need for a project) and exactly what nicalandia said. Already asked the seller if the other male siblings have the same pattern and he said all have the pattern.RIR are eWh wheaten (or eb depending on the line) Columbian restricted(Co) and other genes enhancing the red pigment like Mahogany(Mh)
white leghors are Birchen(ER) Dominant White(I) and other dominant genes like recessive mottling and Sex Link Silver and Barring are also found on white leghorns(production type, could be different on herritage birds)
ER is Dominant to eWh making the Bird almost black(Birchen) then one shot of dominant white(I/i+ i+ is from their RIR parent) will make them almost completely white..
how would they look? almost self white with some ground color leaking.. also with some black spots due to the leaky dominant white..

Is it correct to assume that the Z chromosome being carried by the white hen is double sex linked with both the barring and silver genes together on a single Z, ZBS based on her son's color pattern? Is double linked the correct term? I've never encountered it described as such, compared to a ZB or ZS, only a single sex linked gene attached.
I just coined the term double sex linked since a single z chromosome is carrying two sex linked traits/genes, if a single z is carrying 3 sex linked genes then i'd call it triple sex linked or multiple sex linked if the case may be and just identify which sex linked mutations there are.It's not called doubled sex linked as there are multiple genes located on the Z sex chromosome. But the hen is both Sex linked Barred(or one of the multiple sex linked barring allelic mutations like Sex linked Dilution B^Sd or sex linked extreme Dilution) and Silver at the Z locus.
This post is out of topic and inciteful, imo, anyway, peace to all and keep healthy in this time of pandemic; God bless to all!The personality is going to be a mean schizophrenic that flies over the fence to attack the dog.....(based on my White leghorns and RIRs!)
