Mixing marans

[FlipFlopFarm]

If I breed a Wheatens Marans with Black Copper hen, what should I expect to get? I don't sell chicks, just breed for myself, for meat and selling eggs.
I know there is a chart, but sometimes I just can't figure it out.

I'm no expert,but I have One rooster and he is a French Copper Marian. I have a mix of four different Hens but Every Chick we get from our one rooster turns out a Silver Grey laced chick.
My Polish chicks look like this :
My laced Wyandottes looked like this:
the Three on bottom.
All of them are from my one Copper Maran.
Might help some determine what yours might look like.

They should look like black copper marans.
BCM are Birchen and Birchen is dominate to Wheaton so they will be hiding the Wheaton under the Birchen.

What's the end goal for such a cross?

I have a similar question. Is there some way to produce sex-link Marans chicks from a cross of something like a Black or Black Cooper Rooster and Cuckoo Hen?

Blk or Blk copper rooster over cuckoo hens will produce sex links.
Chicks with headshots and feather barred will be males. No head spot and solid black will be pullets.
