Not auto sexing, but a one-time sex link, yes. As long as the rooster isn't white or barred it pretty much works. You should get sex linked olive eggers. Males will have a white spot on their heads and be barred, females will have solid heads and be solid color with leakage. 


Does this guy count as a white? As a chick he was that pretty yellow....

Eehh...not sure on that guy. It will probably work, the worst that will happen is you'll get a chick that's too light to see the spot on the head. Most chicks from that rooster and a cuckoo Marans will still probably be mostly black, with red leakage, but you might get a more white bird pop up.
 
An update on my "it's impossible for her to be barred" mystery bird. Quick recap, there are pictures earlier in this thread, the possible fathers are a Buff Orpington/Jubilee Orpington cross Rooster who showed some mottling at 3-5 weeks old, but by 6 months was a solid dark red/gold color. The other possible father is a mix breed of unknown origin who looks like a New Hampshire (red/gold body, black tail). The possible mothers are a Black Jersey Giant and a Production Red

about the father or the mother, but you need to find out and pair those two together and make more.

Here are a few pics of the chicks we hatched. Part of my Olive eggers. Not a single one of the black chicks have a spot on their head, or barring. A least one of them came out with yellow fuzz and black spots...
This one.

I have an EE Roo. The buff looking chicks came from my Buff Leghorn ladies. The others came from my Cockoo Maren eggs. The one very white chick came from my California White Hen.

If your ee isn't barred the the ones from the marans should be sex links. If so, all the black ones are girls :p
