Black Australorp rooster x silver laced wyandotte

[grizleyguy]

Hello all. I'm new to the site and getting back into chickens. I was wondering if anyone has crossed Australorp rooster to a silver wyandotte hen. If so any pics or info would be greatly appreciated

I have not had this cross before.

I'm sure many people have, they just don't think to take pictures.
The chicks would all be black, I think. With a modified rose comb

You could get chicks with partial lacing, leakage, or solid black feathering. The color of the leakage depends on whether the australorp rooster has silver and/or gold genes. The chicks will either all have rose combs or half will have rose and half will have single (if the wyandotte isn’t pure for the rose comb gene). @3KillerBs may have some pictures of wyandotte/australorp crosses.

Would it be sex linked due to solid colored roo over silver hen?

No, sex-linked crosses are red rooster x silver hen or solid rooster x barred hen
