Sounds like you created a sex link so it depends which the father is. The barring gene is past to the opposite sex so if he was a barred then his daughters would be and visa versa.

The father is the cuckoo...

They both are black with the cream spot on their heads..one has a peacomb and one comb is a single...so it looks....does pea comb mean anything?

yes pea combs are related to the blue/green colored egg I get like a 50/50 rate of straight and pea combs with these guys because the roo is a FBCM with a staright comb-the moms all have pea combs but I do have a few tiny pullets with stright combs Im keeping hoping they lay really dark eggs

I was hopeful for an olive egg! Any thought on a Barred rock cross? Do most olive layer have slate colored legs? It is a long 6 months for an egg!
