Speckled Sussex x mixed breed rooster, what colour chicks?

[Sussex19]

I've got some chicks that I *think* are from an SS hen x a Cuckoo Orpington x Light Sussex rooster, but I was wondering what they should look like, so I can confirm if they are.

All the chicks should be silver and half of them will be barred (white head spot).

Mine seem to be mostly black with a bit of brown.... I think it might be time I got some photos of them, and see what people think.
Thanks very much for your help!

If the rooster carries gold, about half of the offspring could be gold too.

To be honest, I don't know what he might have in him, really. I bought both his mother and father off gumtree, our version of craigslist.

I thought I would update this thread with a pic of 11 chicks that hatched from that pairing, in case anyone else is interested.
