a light red with males with lighter heads
Foghorn Leghorn is a Leghorn rooster, not a Rhode Island Red.
NO, neither breed is sexlinked. What you need to do is breed a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster with a Barred Rock(Black Stars) or Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen(all Red Stars) and you will get sexlinked chicks. The chicks that hatch out solid black are pullets(hens) and the chicks that hatch out black but with a large yellow dot on top of their heads are cockerels(males).This answer is wrong. The rooster has to be the Rhode Island Red and the hen the White Leghorn. The pullets will have reddish fluff and the males will have yellow fluff leading to white feathers.
I think it was Foghorn Leghorn to Rhode Island Red in "Raw! Raw! Rooster!" .

my rooster. if u know what i mean.
Rhode Island's state mascot is the Red Rooster(Rhode Island Red).
Golden Comets, Red Stars and Cinnamon Queen are all red sex-linked birds. They are hybrids created by taking a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red rooster and crossing him with a White Rock or Plymouth Barred Rock, White Leghorn or another light hen. These chickens are not a breed - they are hybrids bred for egg production and the fact that the female chicks will be red and the male chicks will be white. The Golden Comet has a White Rock mother, in most of the references I found, and the Red Star will have a Plymouth Barred Rock mother. So they are similar but different.

A Red Star chicken is the cross between a Leghorn, Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire. They are a sex-linked breed which means as chicks, the males are a different color than the females.
