My old neighbor gave me several eggs to hatch to help me start back up with a flock. He had all sort of chickens. So the breeds I have no idea just give your best guess. Yes I’ve had 3 blue eggs that I hatched. I think the one with the beard and feather feet is too cutie!

You've got some cuties! At this stage, it's going to be difficult to tell. A list of breed possibilies (by hen and roo) can help, time will tell. That being said, 5 toes are only on 5 breeds. Anything else is going to be a mix with 1 of those breeds being involved. Black skin is another that only shows in a few breeds. Feathered feet is also limited to just a few. Color of shell hatched from can help also. Type of comb (rose and pea combs on new chicks can be difficult to tell apart). As they feather out, more can be revealed. Crests (partial crests can pop later) can also help figure out what they are.

The owner of the eggs gave me a picture. The eggs was a light brown and blue. Yes he does have a small Bantam hen, and a buff Orphington

Any chicks with Rose combs could be the wyandotte, but the roo can throw them too. However, based upon that comb of his, I'd hazard that he isn't pure rose comb, so any straight comb chicks are likely not the wyandotte. That being said, some wyandottes do have straight combs or aren't pure for rose comb, so can throw straight comb babies. The EE might have a pea comb (fence in the way), but again, may not be pure for it. If ANY of the babies have a walnut comb, then guaranteed from her and the roo (assuming there aren't more roos and the bantam doesn't have a pea comb). The blue and the orpington will babies withstraight combs if the roo isn't pure for rose (I don't think he is). All of the splash EE's offspring should turn out blue. The blue will throw either blue or black babies. The orpington offspring should be some shade of yellow (and will feather out all sorts of interesting tones. The wyandotte babies will also be yellow, but will likely have a variety of markings on the adult feathers. The bantam....depends upon what she is.
