Anyone know what these Bantys could be?

They have gold chests, with brown shoulders, then the body has black and brown baring, then a black tail. The roo has a comb I've never seen before.
Females lay a medium light tan egg. If they are a mix, that's cool too. Just trying to find out what they could be.
Thanks!

I think they are mixed. The white legs suggest old English game but not the white earlobes. The rooster has a modified pea comb, meaning it's somewhere in between a pea comb and a single comb. That also indicates mixed parentage.

Leghorn is a possibility for the other parent, but who knows? It's really anyone's guess what the true mix might be. But they are very pretty and mixes are just as good as pure breeds.

Very interesting! That totally explains the type of comb on the roo. Thought it was also interesting that they all have the same pattern, probably from the same clutch. I do have an OEGB ( hen and roo) that is Mille Fleur coloring, so I'm very excited to see these crossed. I wonder what the color pattern and comb types would turn out for the chicks.

I believe Mille Fleur coloring requires genes from both parents to get Mille Fleur offspring. Not 100% positive, but I believe so. If that's the case then crossed with these chickens will probably be tan with black tails and some darker markings but no white. The mix rooster could produce more modified pea combs in the babies, but I think most would be single combed when crossed with OEGB.
