Breed of 3 week old chick?

[Sussex19]

This chick came from my flock with a Cuckoo Orpington x Light Sussex rooster, and the hens are RIR, RIR x LS, BO, SS and a Cuckoo Orp, but I'm fairly certain that it not hers, as they look quite different. Any idea who its mum is?
Sorry there's rather a bit of my hand in it, its raised by a broody, and kept trying to run off to join her.

It definitely has cuckoo in it. All I can tel you though is that's a boy. Sorry for not helping much

I was thinking it might be, but hoping it wasn't! What makes you think its a boy? Just the comb, or something else?

The comb, mostly, as the white "dot" (more like a line in your case) on his head

Thanks! Those white dots, do they always mean cockerel? Its something that I've been a bit curious about, as it usually seems to, but yet, I thought with some breeds, they all have them.

Nor all breeds . Just with BARRED breeds, such as barred rock, cuckoo Maran, and so forth

I see...that makes sense!

Barred breeds both male and female have the white dot, though the dot can have different sizes and shapes. It’s only when it’s sex linked i.e. cuckoo or barred mother and non-cuckoo or non barred father that you can count on the dot meaning it’s a male.

Thank you
Do you have any idea of my original question, before I went of topic?

Sorry I don’t. If you’re absolutely certain that the cuckoo orp hen is not the mother than the cuckoo orp rooster has to be the father. Black is dominant, it looks like some red peeking through In some of the feathers so maybe the Rhode Island red? You’ll probably have to wait till it feathers in more to get a better idea.
