Wyandotte x Barred Rock

[Omniskies]

I know that if you cross a Barred rooster over a Wyandotte hen you should get mostly barred chicks. But what happens with a Wyandotte rooster over Barred Rock hens? Gold, Silver, or Blue; doesn't matter. I'm mostly curious what a laced rooster over barred hens produces.

Thanks

They would be Sex-linked.

Gold Laced Rooster over a Barred Hen -- Roosters are Black Barred / hens Black
Silver Laced Rooster over a Barred Hen -- Roosters are Black Barred / hens Black
Blue Rooster over a Barred Hen -- Roosters will come Blue Barred and Black Barred / Hens will come Blue and Black

Yep and they should have rose combs too.

Urgh. I feel like an idiot. I didn't even think of Silver/Red/etc over Barred.

Huge thanks. My brain wasn't working.

Can you sex the mostly barred chicks?

Can you sex the mostly barred chicks?

Sure, at about 6 weeks like most chicks

.

But there's no sex linkage to ID them at hatch, if that's what you're asking.
