maybe if you post pictures, but in the case they're crossed up... most will only be able to give you an idea of their parental lines

If they show in your uploads, just copy the "image" information to this thread.  If they're somewhere like Facebook, you'll need to post a link.

She certainly looks like she could be a light brahma.  But the chick in that picture isn't 4 months old!  At 4 months, she should have none (or almost none) of that fluffy chick down left and be mostly feathers.

Princess Fiona looks like she could be an Easter Egger or Ameraucana, but that picture is too dark and blurry to tell anything for sure.

Where did you get them?  That might help determine what they may be.
