Yellow tends to turn white later. Its always easier for people to help you guess with a picture .

I don't really know what to tell you ... a mixed breed bred to a mixed breed will give a mixed breed. And I don't know anything about genetics. Hopefully, it will be big, but you know it will be tasty!
The Cornish Cross is a hybrid, lets say breed A and breed B - the black sex link is a hybrid, lets say Breed C and Breed D. So you took a bird with AB genetics and added to it CD genes. Who knows what an ABCD will turn out to be, you'll have to let us know how it turns out.
