The offspring of the sex links, however do not breed true. It is only the initial F1 cross that has the color coding.
How big is your Jersey/Orp rooster? I love both breeds and would love to see a picture of him.
New arrivals.
Ah... did not know that about the sex links.
He's quite large... here's a pic from this summer. Not the best but the only one I can find quickly.
The coolest thing about him is his oversize comb.

That is quite a comb! Is he gentle with the hens?
I can't say enough good things about him! He is gentle with the hens,
he is really good about calling them over when I put out a treat and
is protective. By far the best rooster I have ever had.

Got around to taking a picture again. They are 2 months old now.
Not quite so wild anymore.
Wow! They are little hens now! They certainly grew up fast.
they look great! Amazing how fast they grow

I know that farm livestock are not supposed to be cute, but those little brown hens are.
They also seem to be the ones most interested in the camera.
