What would the offspring be

I would call them a barnyard mix. There is nothing wrong with a BYM. Trying market them as something special to increase their value is simply dishonest. BYM are great birds and lots of people like them but they don’t have much monetary value because they are super common and a bit of a gamble on what you’ll get, but that’s most of their appeal.

Breeding chickens to standard takes a lot of time and money. People who do it expect to be compensated so they charge a premium. You can’t simply breed whatever you have and come up with a clever name. I hope I don’t sound too harsh I’m just trying to explain why BYM simply don’t have a high market value.

What about this and thisView attachment 3624860View attachment 3624861

They would be black, possibly with some leakage or partial lacing. They would carry the recessive lavender gene.

I have 3 roosters lavender orp (Foggy), black with some copper neck striped EE (Rob), BCM (Hei Hei), and nine hens 1 blue maran (Spunky), 2 bcms (Mutha’ Clucka’ and Chongus), 3 bared rocks but one has a rose comb (Sanderson sisters), 1 grey EE (Jellybean), 1 golden laced polish (Karen), and 1 blue silkie (Niblet). Yes I know not enough hens we are going to build another coop and add more to their run plus we’re getting a lot of silkies soon and other hens.

If you have a barred chicken with a rose comb, she’s likely a Dominique instead.
