Crowing
Coming back to this post, I have a question! Why exactly would their chicks be sex-linked and how do you know? How would the genetics come into play with that? I want to learn more, sorry for the questions!Yes, they would be sexlinked (golden males that look silvery at hatch, gold females) and have rose combs, assuming your Sebright is pure for that trait. Sometimes Sebrights carry a recessive gene for not-rose combs, so it's possible some of their offspring will have single combs as well if that is the case.
You should see incomplete lacing in the plumage of all of the offspring, similar to the pictures above. The females should be a gold sort of color, but the males should be more whitish-yellow.
Should make for some very pretty birds!
