What is the most popular barnyard mix from the following rooster/hen combinations?

Are there any registered hybrid breeds from these combinations?

Roosters:
Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock show stock - large rooster - stands about 2 1/2 feet tall

Black sex link (Americauna dad and barred rock mom) and presents with brown, black, and white barring - small rooster - like an americauna rooster

Hens:
Rhode Island Red
Black Australorp
2 X Silver Laced Wyandottes
Americauna
Barred Rock

We have 2 different pens for each rooster and we are trying to pair them up with the best hens for any of the following: egg color, feather colors, high production.

Btw, thank you for discussing breeding with me last time. Since then, we had lost 5 chickens to predators.
 
Just a recommendation but a great barnyard mix is PBR/RIR X RIR and PBR/RIR X PBR. You can breed the PBR cock to the RIR hen and breed the cocks from this cross to their mother and the hens to their father.
