Amber White Hybrid

[Nash Forrester]

Hello friends,

I recently got an Amber white chick because I had not heard of them before. I tried to do some research on them and I have found very little. I am hoping for some help and more information if anyone has it.
From what I’ve found, though correct me if I’m wrong:

Amber Whites are a cross between a Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White. The other way round from an ISA brown.

They are an auto sex breed. And may be based on feather sexing rather than coloration.

They may be called Amber stars but are different than Amberlinks.

And that’s about it. I am wondering if this information is correct or not. And most importantly, if they are sex linked and what the deffernces between the male and female chicks are. Specifically the chicks. Cuz if you can tell by coloration, I’d love to know if I indeed have a pullet.

Here is a pic of her, though I can upload more if needed.

There’s Amber White info on this BYC breed page if you are interested!

That’s actually one of the resources I saw but it doesn’t say if they are auto sexed and if so, how. Though I may be missing it. I appreciate your help though!

I think they are able to be feather sexed (not auto sexed by color), but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in!

From what I read, probably the same articles you found, they don't seem to be autosexing or feather sexing . . . you may've confused them with Amberlinks, which are autosexing by color.

To my limited understanding for feather sexing to work one or both parent breeds have to carry the gene . . which Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White don't . . .as far as I understand it.

I'm still wrapping my head around most of this, and it's making me wish I'd paid better attention in Biology, lol.
