[QUOTE="lawnviewfarm, post: 765571, member: 7051"] A Barred Rock rooster on a Rhode Island Red hen will produce a black sex-link. Resulting females will be black with an orange/mahogany chest while the males will look like a Barred Rock with fuzzy bars (when compared to a Barred Rock). Because the Barred Rock is a heavy bird the black sex-link F1 offspring will also be a heavier bird. Whereas the red sex-link (created with a Rhode Island White rooster on a Rhode Island Red hen) will result in a lighter bird that is similar to the White Leghorn in weight and production (eggs per pound of feed fed). Eggs to ya! :) --Marc [/QUOTE]
