They should lay at least as well as the mothers. Your pullets will be black, your cockerels will be barred.

I have another question. If I use my black australorp rooster with my Barred rocks, what will I get?
X2 on enola. Any solid colored rooster bred to a barred hen will produce Black Sex Links. They will likely be even better brown egg layers than your Barred Rock hens. It's one of the interesting quirks of hybridization. )Will they eggs the same as the barred rocks? Thanks for the info.
X2 on enola; and the male chicks will be black with a white spot on top of the head while the tops of the female chicks' heads will be black without the white spot.Your pullets will be black, your cockerels will be barred.
RIR x Buff usually gives orange/gold colored birds, male and female. The white skin is usually dominant. They're a nice mixed breed that lays well. No sex linkage.
Thanks for the info again. I like that they will lay good.
