With that father, and those hens, I would expect black chicks with white barring. They would hatch out with a pattern of black & white or black & yellow, then grow black feathers with white barring, and they may have other colors leak through as they get older.

If you are getting chicks of other colors, they might just have an odd color of down. But if they also grow up other colors, either they have a different father, or your rooster is their father but is not actually a pure Barred Rock.
