That's not a Barred Rock...it has a white earlobe, which means it will be your white egg layer. True Barred Rocks have red earlobes and lay large brown eggs.
Your barred bird in the photo is the mix of a barred breed and some white egg laying breed (like a Leghorn or Minorca, which the comb is reminiscent of)...the barring is dominant...and I understand the white skin is as well (?) someone correct me if I am wrong there.
So you have a barred bird with white earlobes that lays white eggs....but not a Barred Rock.
The Dark Cornish and the White mixed bird (which I suspicion has Cream Legbar somewhere in its genes) will be laying the cream or brown eggs.
My guess is the white mix is laying the smaller cream eggs as the Cream Legbar blue gene dropped out (blue is created with blue pigment over white base, and does not pass along easily), and the Dark Cornish is the large brown eggs at the right end as it is a known brown egg layer.
My guesses...as I am still wrapping my head around the genetic thing....so someone may correct any errors.
