Dominique Roo X Isa Brown hens offspring

[Cooper22]

I hatched 10 chicks on March 26th, 4 are black with some white and 6 are mostly white with few having a black spot or 2 on them. My question is are they sexlinked? When i bought the parents i was told my rooster was a dominique and the hens are Isa Brown, It's my first time hatching and I've read that dominiques are sex linked and so are isa browns? But not sure if the same applies if the 2 breeds have offspring together?

My question is are they sexlinked?

Welcome to BYC!

Your chicks are NOT sex linked.

Auto sexing breeds true in follow up generations. Sex linking disappears after the first generation.

Congrats on your new chicks!

The first post in this thread explains how sex linking works.

If your hens were Dominique and the rooster was an ISA Brown, they would meet the first requirement to make black sex links. The male chicks would be barred and the female chicks would not. But they would not meet the second requirement, you have to be able to see the dot in the offspring. Some of the color genetics in the ISA Brown would prevent the dot from being visible in some of the chicks' down.
But with the rooster being the Dominique all of his offspring will have the barred gene so they are not sex linked.

Thank you! I'm still learning how the genetics work! I'll check out that link!
