The roos are mainly silver barred, but occasionally can be golden barred. My baby boy Orpington, Barred Rock is going to be black barred. He's at least two, and a half weeks old now. I'll post photos as soon as I take some more.

I get those too. I've kept them for a while before they sold. I can tell you from mine, one roo looked just like the hen color, the yellowish ones grew muddy yellow feathers with some black spots on some feathers, and the white or yellow faces had transition color. That is the heads were mostly white with thin black stripes and transitioned towards the tail to mostly black with thin white stripes. I haven't gotten any with black and yellow or white and yellow barred pattern. So far the yellow ones have been females. The black ones have been either sex. I expect my next batch to hatch later this week.
The boy has the dot on his head. This is them at one day old. The boy is getting in pretty barred pattern. I'll post photos of him tomorrow.
The golden faced, and brown faced ones are the little girls, one is turning out very pretty gold barred, the other is a more muddy color.
Wait, so you crossed a BO (hen) × Barred rock (Ro) correct. Because one of my buff orpington Hen hatched literally one egg, and I'm pretty sure that the roo was a barred rock. The chick is now 5 week old, but is almost complete brownish, gold. I'll post a pick of the little guy when I get the chance.
I crossed a Buff Orpington rooster with a Barred Rock hen. Okay.
Updates on chick growth.
My little rooster.
The Girls.
Last girl isn't a Barred Rock cross. She's a Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red cross.

I get the BO RIR crosses. You'll find they tend to look like buffs with redish feathers. If lighting is bad you may not be able to tell them apart from the BO.
Yeah, I noticed. I realized she had the spots on the wings like RIR chicks get when growing in their first set of feathers.
