Can anyone help with their opinions? What colours are my Pekins?

Can anyone tell me what colours they would consider these 2 young pullets and 1 little roo to be? So many people tell me different things so thought I would put it out there and listen to the majority.

The cockerel looks a bit like a Lemon Cuckoo. I'm not sure about the others, but they don't look like any pure variety that I've ever seen. They may be mixed varieties.

Thanks BayBay Peepers.....we think they are super cute too. So many people don't think they exist, or like you, think that I have made a mistake when discussing them. THANK YOU for taking the time to check it out for yourself. They make GREAT pets and love the human interaction as you can see from the picture of my daughter and her rooster. Yes that is a ROOSTER. This guy is our "top dog" and he rules with an iron beak around the hen house, keeping everyone in their pecking order. But, he is also the sweetest of them all and will happily lay on his back and swing in the hammock for ages. All of his own free will.

These are the parents. I wasn't expecting them to throw these colours.

While our little guys are not necessarily heritage colours, they are pure bred bantams, and even if they weren't we just love them anyway! We are definitely crazy chicken people here and all our birds are hand raised and very used to human interaction. Even the rooster is prone to laying on his back in the hammock with my daughter on a hot summer day. Started raising them about a year ago, and now our lives seemed consumed by chickens. But that's how it should be....right?
