sex-link

We are trying to get our next gen of layer hens so in addition to buying chicks we are trying to hatch some from our own. We do this all the time and will be fine with whatever mutts they turn out to be but I’m confused on how the genetics work of it all… We have a Sapphire gem rooster in with -...

Recently hatched 19 eggs. Easter egger rooster with Speckled Sussex, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock and Light Brown Leghorn hens. From what I understand the barred rock is sex-linked? White dot on head means Rooster, right? Are any of these other breeds sexlinked? Also...

Hello all! Below is a picture of our 15 week old Spitzhauben “Cayenne Pepper”. Dad is a gold Spitzhauben. Mom is a silver Spitzhauben. we have read that offspring of this color combination produces a sex linked chick. Judging by the color, hes gold like dad, but he’s (?) not showing much in...

Hello, I am wondering what will happen if I cross my RIR rooster back with some of my sex link hens. Will the hens that come out, lay just as big eggs or will they not lay very much at all.

BARGAIN PRICED! Six Asian Black pullets - three months old seek employment in the Egg Production Business. These beautiful young ladies were originally purchased as tiny chicks as a 4H Egg-to-Eggs production project. Covid sidelined the Fair season, so we find ourselves with at least six...

So I recently bought these hens from a local feed and supply store and when I asked for their sex-links they showed me these which I bought. However they said they were “mixed not sex-link” which I don’t know if there is even a difference, either way I still love em.

So, this is my first post. I'm new to the chicken world. Actually up until my girl Rosé( a RIR) I was terrified of chickens. Anyhoo, I just got four new chicks(supposedly pullets) from TSC and I have confidently identified three out of four, but can't confidently identify the fourth. I think she...

I have both Silverudd's Blues in Blue, Black and Splash and Marans in Blue, Black, Splash, and Wheaten looking to create sex-link olive eggers any help or suggestions to create.

I'm attempting to write out the genetics of breeding Chocolate and Blues to make Mauves. When you breed a Chocolate rooster (choc/choc) over a Splash hen (Bl/Bl), you get 100% (choc/Bl) offspring, which results in Mauve pullets and Blue cockerels. Would these cockerels also be split to...
