Barred rock x ameracauna comb type

The first 3 have pea combs, the last one has a straight comb. There are more but I don't have good photos of them all. One looks like a barred rock but with a pea comb, one is all black with a pea comb. The rest look like barred rocks with straight combs.
It’s possible the seller had barred rock hens, too, so some of your chicks could potentially be purebred barred rocks
 
Any chicks with a pea comb either came from the Easter-egger rooster (assuming he has a pea comb) or a hen with a pea comb, so possibly the Ameraucana hens.

The first chick (blue-gray with orange on its face) and the all black chick must have been fathered by the Easter-egger rooster as a Barred Rock male will always pass barring to all of his offspring and neither of those appear to have barring.

The single-combed chick at the end must have had at least one barred parent to be barred, itself, so either the Barred Rock rooster or a barred hen was a parent.

The yellowish chick must have had at least one parent with a beard as that is a dominant trait, so possibly the Easter-egger rooster if he's bearded or possibly the Ameraucana hens.

Do you know the rest of the breeds that the other person had?
Thank you! I've been reading about genetics and I just can't seem to grasp it. I wanted to try to figure it out on my own without asking bc I feel like I'm constantly posting on here and asking silly questions. 😫 I know for sure she has barred rock hens as well. I don't know the other breeds, honestly it could be anything!
 
Here are a few more. 1st and 2nd have pea combs, 3rd has straight. I'm also wondering about the second photo I posted before, of the black chick with the black comb. Is that a pea comb??
