That cross isn't uncommon. Hatcheries sell them as rhodebars & red rocks.

Wouldn't that cross be a black sex link? Or am I confused... which is always a possibility

Yes.

I think they are all similar depending on whether the rooster is the rhode island or the rock.

Hi! My name is Caleb, and I’m a kinda new chicken owner! I’m looking forward to getting to know the community, and learn more things about chickens! I have a flock of 2 Barred Plymouth rock hens (they’re both four years old) and a very young Rhode Island Red rooster (he’s young but very large, and he hasn’t found his crow). He towers over both hens. And I’m looking for some hens to add to the flock.

Your hen would look something like this. When getting more hens, I would stick with the barred rocks instead of the RIR's. They lay less eggs so they will not get reproductive disease as quickly.
