I recently hatched out 6 Crested Cream Legbar cross hatchlings, paired with my Paint Ameraucana EE rooster. I didn't get any paint colored chicks from this pairing. They were all black with a dark chipmunk stripe.
The cockerels have lighter beaks/legs + an obvious head dot.
The pullets have...
Bought 6, 8 week old chick's. We were told they were 3 Redstar hens (they obviously are not Redstar hens) but the seller was adamant they are hens and 3 Blackstar hens.
My question is, could these be Whitestar hens?
TIA,
Scott
Does anyone have any first-hand experience crossing an ISA Brown hen with another non-sex-link rooster? We just had 2 eggs hatch that are ISA Brown hen x cream Olive Egger rooster. His mom was a BCM and dad was a Buff Ameraucana. The chicks, to my surprise, seem to follow the sexing images I...
Black Sexlink males have like a dirty Barred/Cuckoo pattern while females are typically Black with Gold or Red heads/throats.
Is there an official name for these patterns?

I am looking for a barred hen breed so I can breed white egg-laying black sexlinks. Apparently Hollands and Cuckoo Leghorns lay white eggs but they are both very rare. Are there more common white egg-layers with the barring gene? If I breed a Brown Leghorn Rooster with a Barred Rock hen, I am...
What is the best practice for f2 breeding? I’ve looked high and low and only see how to create them, and am not locating information on how best to breed them or with what. My question is then what? Do I breed it back to the father or a brother 🤔 is there even a point it doing so? Is there a...
So I had purchased two sex links which are supposed to be sexed at birth with a clear marking on its head which would determine the sex. Both of them did not have white dots so I was hopeful for two girls but now I am wondering if I have a roo. He or she is 5 weeks old currently. Let me know...
I have had my baby chicks from Rural King for 13 days now and only JUST realized that the chick who is outgrowing the others by far might be a male.
He/she is a Starlight Green Egger, according to the sign, and is at least a third bigger than most of the other chicks. Big, thick legs and a bit...
Hi,
I THINK this is a BR Roo x Wel Hen. It’s a pretty chick admittedly but I’m not sure whether having a BR Roo makes it sex linked and I was wondering if anyone has seen this pattern before?
Hi all! So a random white leghorn showed up at my house. I have red and black sex link hens. I decided to hatch a few. I jave 6 Lil yellow fluff balls. Any one had this mix? Any photos?
I'm supposed to be getting some peach peafowl. I'm new to peach. Since it's a sex-link color, does that mean there's a way to tell at hatch if they are male or female? The breeders are all peach pied/white eye/silver pied/solid.
I have five chickens of various breeds/mixes and I’m trying to figure out who is a roo since I can’t keep them in my city. I got them all at 1 day old and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. I’ll sort them by color and their names in parens with the breed/mix below.
Red and white (Twitch)...
Hi everyone!
First and foremost, please know that I'm not overly concerned about whether or not this chick will in fact turn out to be a hen, and this post is mostly for fun and curiosity to hear other's views or opinions of the matter. I'm not always the most succinct person, so bear with me...
I have hatched two rounds of Welsummer (rooster) X Cream Legbar chicks. This should produce sex-links. The chicks I suspect are males have very small head spots compared to other sex-links I have seen. What would cause them to not be as defined? My stock is from breeders and not hatchery...
Ok so I put eggs in my incubator to hatch my pure light Brahmas.. they hatched over labor day weekend and well a few of the eggs were from my buff orpington hen and I only have my light Brahma rooster so what I was wondering is if they are sexlink as I know a BO rooster crossed with a light...
I have 3 roos for sale. One is a golden sexlink (we're pretty sure) no idea what the other 2 are. They were sent as extras in a hatchery shipment and we just can't keep them all! I didn't want to slaughter them so I thought I would list them here! They will be 8 weeks old on May 23rd. $15 each...
We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?
Hello, I have some Chinese geese. I've read that a mix between the brown and white create a sexlink. From what I've read though, I've seen people say female gosling are white, males are dark...and vise versa. I was just wondering if anybody knew exactly what the outcome was of the auto sexing...
