Easter Eggers-What breeds do YOU prefer to cross your Ameraucanas with?

Pics
I only have one roo for breeding and it's a Light Brahma. I crossed him with my two EE hen I have of dif colors. One is a rust color and one is silver/blue. All my babies have yellow legs but all have muffs and beards. All also have mostly white coloring with silver mixed in tho they do not have adult coloring yet. It looks like the under feathers of the rust colored feathers on one of my EE are gray.. how do the color genetics work with this mix as adult coloring?
 
If you use your AM roo with barred hens you will have sex linked EE and they may or may not be bearded. If you cross with a brown egg layer you might get green eggs. And all of those hens could produce EE without beards. I have loads of beardless EE.... I am breeding toward all having beards and muffs now. I have an AM roo over all my EE, but they are mostly Blue and Black and what I like about EE is all the unpredictable colors. Cross them with your EE.... Cross them with any, but remember most people who want EE want a blue/green egg and you might get just brown with most of those hens. It is a crap shot.....
Do you have pics of the AM x Bard hen chicks? I have one I'm trying to sex. This little black chick just hatched. Hopefully you can see the spot well enough.
