Brahmas? Or Orpingtons?

I just got 11 chicks from a lady. I thought all were Brahmas. A few blue partridge and had no idea on the others color. Saw the parents (gorgeous) on site, but didn't get to look over the chicks that well. Only three have feathered feet. Sooooo I've got mutts, or perhaps some color of Orpington? What do you guys think?

I'd be asking the seller to clarify what the chicks are.

Brahmas have feathered legs and pea combs. Both those traits are dominant, so any chicks with at least one Brahma parent should have those.

Not sure why you're thinking Orpington? did the seller have those? Orps have white skin, which is dominant, so I don't think that's what's going on here.
 
I thought Orpington because the seller said she had some of those chicks as well. I'll be texting her this morning. All of her adult chickens were beautiful, so I honestly don't care what they are. But if she bamboozled me I'm gonna be p'd off. I paid way too much for mutts, you know?

I spoke with the lady I got the chicks from. These are the mamas. The front 2 are Orpingtons and and the back are Brahmas.
She says they are pure bred. What do y'all think? The parents are gorgeous.
 
I'm also thinking those chicks aren't from those hens.

Where are you located? Those aren't colors I'm used to seeing in Orps.
