    Help determining breeds?

    I get they'e crossed. Just trying to work out what at least one of the mix is. Right now I can see of the black ones both have ear muffs. One has a single comb and 4 toes. The other has a rose or pea comb and five toes on both feet so am leaning towards faverolle x a bunch of other things.
