you have to have a solid male and barred females to get sexlinked chicks that you can sex at hatch. BOxBR will give you all silver cockerels with black & gold pullets

Not yet, have been busy hatching with other breeds and projects. I did keep the one BOxBR girl that was mostly black and if she continues to be a good layer this year may try her out with my EE this fall. Just had too many other things going on and not enough breeding pens this past season.

There are pics of them when they were younger on this page; https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/229407/buff-orpington-x-barred-rock-results-pics/30#post_10334998 They looked about the same when they grew up; gold & black= pullet silver & black= cockerel. One of my pullets did have more black...

True if the BO was the father and the barred rock the mother. In which case you have 2 boys and 1 girl
