Kenzier093 I will try to give you a idea of what you could get from that cross . Beards are a dominant trait so you will get all beards if your rooster has 2 copies of the gene . Only 50% beards if he has 1 copy . Your rooster is a splash as stated in previous posts . So he will produce blue in his chick's black areas . Your sex link hens are white in the normally black areas due to 1 copy of dominant white . So 50% of the chicks will inherit 1 copy of dominant white gene and be white in those black areas . The other 50% will be blue in the normally black areas . Red is sex linked so all males will have a lot of red from their mother and white or blue in the black areas . The hens will inherit the normal brown EE hen color from the rooster and be white or blue in the black areas . You should look up the chicken calculator online . I think you would enjoy using it for possible crosses .
Stuff like this always fascinates me.

Could I get a white bird with black spots.
 
And I got a couple picks of my 2 EE Roos at either 13 or 14 weeks of age, beside each other for comparison.

And this is bugsy ( the huge one ) by himself.
 
It depends on the rooster. I had one that started to crow at 5 weeks. My cockerel now is 18 weeks and has not crowed yet. He is starting to dance around the pullets so I'm sure it is coming soon.
