Are you saying that the 27 eggs in the incubator are from all your current chickens and the only father is the pure Ameraucana rooster?

What color is the rooster?

Could Always play with this chicken color calculator.

If that link doesnt work, just google Chicken calculator. Its usually the first thing that pops up.

I'm not seasoned in genetics to know if you can get sex linked chicks..

If the Ameraucana rooster does not have barring, then the chicks from the barred rock hen should be sexlinks--mostly black, with barring on the males and no barring on the females.

For what color the other chicks will be: depends on what color the Ameraucana is. A black Ameraucana would sire mostly black chicks, a wheaten Ameraucana with your hens would mostly have chicks that look sort-of like their mothers, other colors would give other results.

The chicken calculator is a great tool to play with and see possibilities!

I believe black is a very dominant color, like white. So most of the chicks will most likely come out black with some color leakage from the mothers, is my best guess.
