Crossing a barred hen

[Murielfarms]

I have a barred rock hen, and a pure white rooster (he’s an Easter egger/white silkie cross). Will their offspring still be easy to sex at hatch? I can’t find anything online about crossing with a white rooster.

If the male isn't barred, the males from the hatch will have barring and the females will not. Barring can be hard to see on a white bird.

what about combs - will they all be getting rose combs?

Depends on what comb genes the Easter Egger has. Likely just a mix between a pea comb and a walnut. Silkies are supposed to have walnut combs.
