What do I get when I cross a Rhode Island Red rooster with these breeds?

She looks like a black sex link from what I can see. Pretty bird, I love the green/purple sheen of BSLs. :old
We have a RIR rooster, a RIR hen, some Buff hens, some white hens and a black hen of unknown breed. We just hatched 8 eggs, and got 2 whitish/yellow chicks with small black spots, some redish/buff chicks, and 2 black chicks with white on their chest and wing tips. I'm wondering how a RIR rooster and a black hen get WHITE...from ANYWHERE! :D





Here is our black hen--if anyone has any idea what breed she is. She is the friendliest hen we have, she is calm and lays HUGE brown eggs!

I think this chick is a black sex link female. She is now two weeks old and this image was 8 days ago. She is already developing stripes breast feathers. She also has a sibling that is black. He appears to be male by vent check. But both are sweet. I think they are black sex link chicks. The female hatched two days later than the male. I think he hatched early. The female now seriously outweighs him even though he is getting supplements. I think her coloration will look like your hen. The hen was sitting on all brown eggs except for one blue serendipitous egg from another hen.
 
Looks like a black sexlink to me I have 6 and they all lay huge light brown through dark brown eggs. Some of mine in background.
