Cuckoo Maran x White Silkie...What will I get?

I am getting a Cuckoo Maran roo, and I already have a few white Silkie hens

This happened to me accidentally last year. I have a pen of white silkies and white showgirls. I filled my incubator with white silkie eggs and was shocked when they started hatching out black and barred chicks! It took me a while to realize that my cuckoo marans rooster was jumping into the pen....grrr.
I don't have pictures sorry. I ended up selling off the majority of the chicks. I held a few back to grow out out of curiosity. One looks like a poor quality black silkie. The feet have 5 toes with nice spacing and the skin is black but the feather quality is poor. The cuckoo looks better feather wise. Kind of fluffy. I will try to get pictures. It has been so cold here that the lens would fog up I'm sure.

Skyesrocket: Im a little confused so, you had white silkies and a cuckoo maran jumped in the pen and fertilized the silkies. You hatched their eggs, and some turned out....? Thats were I get lost. Did you get any decent Cuckoo Silkies like in the pic I showed.

BTW... I dont care about skin color or the # of toes....just the cuckoo on the silkie and its fluffiness. If you know what I mean?
