I got them from a guy who has a bunch of pens and he tosses the hens in with the roosters in the right pens in theory in the evenings but I assume there are occasional oops chicks. We ended up with 6 chicks from him, 2 cukoo marans, 1 Olive egger, 1 brahma & these 2. He said he has those breeds and rocks, rirs & Swedish flower hens that hes really into breeding and then a ton of other breeds and I asked for a few and didn't know what these 2 were at all. The eggs were really healthy and all hatched that developed even having been shipped. And the chicks have been very hearty and active so whatever they are we really like them. But yea the little tufts are funny. I'm gonna have to keep am eye on them. Also I'm not thinking they're the same breed because they have different legs. I keep trying to compare them to our other chicks lol. I have a bunch of different ones in there. I don't know any hen that lays an egg like UNOs accept maybe a Welsummer though. Crazy lol, we will get to the bottom of this yet.

It could be a Swedish Flower x Barred Rock hybrid.

Maybe- honestly I thought one would be a russian orloff and the other a Swedish flower hen just based on eggs lol can't wait till they grow out

Yeah, the waiting is tough. But Swedish Flowers and Russian Orloff are both mottled, and your chick doesn't appear to have any of those genes...that are showing.

Russian Orloff are called spangled not mottled and they do not have straight combs nor tufts. These aren't Orloff
