Barred rock "Dad" and EE "mom" make ????

I don't know for sure but I have a mutt chicken who is part cochin -EE and she lays little green eggs and another that was americana -cochin and she lays a small blue egg. I also have someone who lays olive colored eggs but I have yet to find out who it is, I have a few "Mutts" that are from my broody hens. Can't wait to see this next batch getting ready to hatch out, and I just set that little Cohin-EE hen on about 9 eggs that are RIR -mix.
Good luck

Today was the best day ever, the little chicks are so cute, momma has been so good (and getting a bit of an attitude too, so we got that going for us, wich is nice)
It is starting to look like we may need a bigger coop

Neither one is showing much barring at all just a little at the tips of the tail and on the neck. However they are only 4 weeks right now so a lot can change. We had six all together 3 of the six were showing barring with their wing feathers early on. I am hoping the woman who took them will send me updates.

We didnt just keep two chicks as planned we also kept 3 EE's as well. Here is the whole group with the Momma Nilla.
