Handsome guy! He looks similar to my EE roosters. It doesn't look like he has any barring so I imagine he would make some nice BSL olive eggers with your cuckoo hen.
What color is the EE rooster? If he's not barred or white (which can hide barring) then you made black sex link olive eggers... Which would mean that your cute little chick is male. This only works if you use a barred/ cuckoo female and non-barred male. The male offspring will be barred and...
This hen (silkie cochin cross) had an accidental run in with a buff orp rooster

You'll end up with some nice black sex-links. You'll be able to sex them at hatch. The males will have a white spot on the top of the head and will be barred like mom. The females will be mostly black with some gold feathers.
Well, if you use the barred rock hens, the chicks will be sexable by color at hatch... That's best for egg production since you don't have to raise a bunch of boys if you don't want to.
I have a 3 month old silver ameraucana/ white leghorn mixed pullet too. She also has the puffy cheeks and beard. I also have 4 pullets from the buff orpington roo and a mystery mixed breed hen. They are all mostly buff colored right now. One has feathered legs even though neither parent did.. I...
