Breeding question

[Alexandra Runner]

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but you know how if you breed a RIR rooted to a SLW hen their chicks will autosex? Does anyone know if it would work the same way with a Barred Rock hen instead of a SLW? I'm trying to do an experiment, haha!

It would produce sexlinks.
Female chicks would be gold and males would be a dirty silver color.

For the second cross, male chicks would be barred and females non-barred.

Awesome! That's what I thought! Thank you!

If I'm not mistaken barred rock hens crossed with RIR would create black sex links. Boys will be barred. Girls black. As chicks boys have white dots on their heads.

Yes, that is correct. I'm pretty sure this works anytime you breed a solid color chicken breed with a barred rock
