I have the following hens:
Barnevelder
Blue Barnevelder
Silver Barnevelder
French Black Copper Marans
Buff Orpington
Deathlayers (silver and gold)

And the following roosters:
Barnevelder
Silver Barnevelder
French Black Copper Marans
All the roosters mate with the hens as they have acres to roam.

What will some of the babies look like from these crosses? Just curious, as I have 22 various eggs ready to go in the incubator.
 
I have some blue copper marans hen eggs mixed with a blue EE rooster, and LO, and NN eggs. I know they are not exactly what you were looking for but here are my chicks.

My blue copper marans ended up with black babies, and the NN eggs ended up being black also.
 
Aren't deathlayers considered barred? Or what is their pattern?
Edit: I mixed up Deathlayers with Campines but the differences in pattern aren't very obvious to me, can you explain?
They do have a very similar pattern. In fact, campine patterning is sometimes called autosomal barring. It is genetically different, though. Barring is white stripes on any other color base. Campine patterning is black stripes on a silver or gold base.
