Barnyard mix (have ingredients) with pics of chicks

[JerseyFresh]

My niece hatched chicks for her science fair project (dirty eggs vs clean eggs) and I picked these four to come home with me.
The combinations from the lady we got them from are slightly staggering...

Hens:
Rhode Island Red/Ameracauna mix
Buff Orphington/Ameracauna mix
Delaware
Cuckoo Marans
Barred Rock
Golden Sexlink
Welsummers
Black Australorp

Roosters:
Golden Cuckoo Marans
Copper Marans
Blue-laced Red Wyandotte
Welsummer
Black Australorp
Speckled Sussex
Blue Wheaton Ameracauna
White/Multi Ameracauna

Does anyone have any idea what these four chicks may be ending up as (besides awesome)?

Yellow/white chick

Grey chick

Brown chick (white dot on top of head)

Black chick (white dot on top of head also)

My first though after reading the list of possibles was:

But anyway, I'm quite certain that the white chick is out of one of the Gold Sexlink hens. That's the only way to get a solid white non-Ameraucana chick out of the breeds you listed. The father has feathered legs. Probably one of the Marans.

As far as the others... Dang, I can't help ya.

Yeah, I agree with the

But , post pics when they feather out! I love barnyard mixes, the color combos are fun to look at.

Thanks! I guess I can also reasonable assume the white/yellow chick is male.
You learn something new everyday around here...

No, not necessarily. Gold Sexlinks are sexlinked only in the first generation. Your white chick has a 50/50 chance of being a male.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of all of these chicks in a couple months!

Your white chick looks to have some feathering on its legs. Since the only one of the "ingredients" (

) that may have leg-feathers would be a marans, I'm thinking it may have some of that in it. But it's white, so.... marans x delaware, white ameraucana, or golden sexlink. For sexlinks, white = male, but when crossing with another breed you can't rely on that. When I was a kid, my gold sexlink hen and black australorp roo produced a splash pullet who looked pure white when she was a chick.

Your black chick looks like it may have some australorp or bc marans in it.

Since the only blue parent breed they had was a blue wheaten ameraucana roo, I'm thinking that your grey chick might be fathered by one of those.

For the brown ones, I have no idea. It'll be fun to watch what they'll grow up into. Keep us posted!
