What do I get when I cross a Rhode Island Red rooster with these breeds?

View attachment 1431413 View attachment 1431414 I think this chick is a black sex link female. She is now two weeks old and this image was 8 days ago. She is already developing stripes breast feathers. She also has a sibling that is black. He appears to be male by vent check. But both are sweet. I think they are black sex link chicks. The female hatched two days later than the male. I think he hatched early. The female now seriously outweighs him even though he is getting supplements. I think her coloration will look like your hen. The hen was sitting on all brown eggs except for one blue serendipitous egg from another hen.
The black and white looks like my silver laced wyandottes when they were babies
 
We have a RIR rooster, a RIR hen, some Buff hens, some white hens and a black hen of unknown breed. We just hatched 8 eggs, and got 2 whitish/yellow chicks with small black spots, some redish/buff chicks, and 2 black chicks with white on their chest and wing tips. I'm wondering how a RIR rooster and a black hen get WHITE...from ANYWHERE! :D





Here is our black hen--if anyone has any idea what breed she is. She is the friendliest hen we have, she is calm and lays HUGE brown eggs!
She looks like one of my black sex links that's currently brooding over 7 eggs like a champ. If I try to mess with her she gives me gentle pecks at first, progressively getting more aggressive. (She's the first broody I've ever had so it took me a minute and now I leave her alone.) I'm pretty sure she's the one giving me my huge darker golden brown eggs.
