Ok,I totally understand now. Thank you

Ok I get what you're saying. For it to be a black sex link it has to have a barred mother. So a barred rock would have worked. I'm just confused since saphire jem roos have barring and females don't I was wondering if their offspring would have the same characteristics. Would a saphire jem...
