Anyone know possibly what these chicks could be

Our rooster was, we believe, an Easter egger mix (he was sold to us as black australorp but was definitely not just australorp). Asked on here last year and was told EE mix. His sister lays green eggs.

We have a variety of hens (white leghorn, amberlink, golden comet, buff Brahma, dark Brahma, Easter egger, wel summer, rhode island red, black jersey giant, Dominique, Oliver egger (rooster sister), gold laced Wydonette, lavender Orpington, Delaware (I think that’s it).

We decided to hatch some babies and man did they come out so cute, we obviously know that we won’t know which is what, but just curious if anyone has any ideas. 6 successfully hatched yesterday. I definitely think the rooster was an EE mix because 3 chicks came out with the EE stripes

Picture of babies and flock and rooster below.

Chick 1 hatched from darker brown egg

Chick 2 hatched from white egg

Chick 3 hatched from light brown egg

Chick 4 hatched from a white egg

Chick 5 hatched from light brown egg

Chick 6 hatched from darker brown egg

I think your only feather legged hen is your Dark Brahma, so all your fuzzy legged chicks would be from her. Those are adorable!

All 6 chicks have feathered feet. It’s weird. Our dark Brahma, buff Brahma, French copper maran all have feathered feet. The only white egg layer we have is our 2 leghorn hens but even the 2 leghorn eggs that hatched have feather feet

Ah, I didn't see the FCM on the list. Hmm, and no feather legged roosters?

It looks like I did forget to add her to the list

We just recently got a silkie rooster but don’t think he’s the ones who has fertilized the hens as of yet, but I guess we could be wrong

Do any have 5 toes?

The chicks? Yes they all have 5 toes. We were curious about that as well

That’s nice to know! Thank you!! We had no idea why the chicks had five toes

Hehe, I guess your little silkie rooster is a sneaky bugger. Congrats on the silkie mixes
