Speckled Sussex - Hen or Roo

[GoldenBC]

Yes, that should be a sex link cross. I'm not sure how visible the differences would be with those two breeds, but you should get red females and silver males.

Thank you! I've been doing as much reading as I can on this and how sex-link works. I found on chart on here that showed Speckled being under the "Red" category and Light Sussex being under the "Silver" category. So in theory, if you have a Red Roo and a Silver Hen, it should produce sex-link offspring. I guess I'll just have to do it and report my findings!

No problem! I'm also fascinated by genetics. Please do!

Will do! Thanks again for your help. I'll report back when they get a little older.
