I was wondering if chicks from a Rhode Island Red rooster and a gold laced wyandotte will be sex links like silver laced wyandotte and RIR? If so what will be the difference between the pullets and cockerals?
 
No, they would not be sex-links... To make red sex-links, you need a silver gene hen crossed with a red/gold gene roo. RIR and GLW are both "red." You can cross your RIR rooster with Barred Rock hens for black sex-links, or with SLW and Delawares for red sexlinks. Unfortunatley, a GLW hen cannot be used in any way to produce sex-links (that I know of). Hope this helps!
