Breed Assistance Needed Please!!

easter egger

The rooster isnt a leghorn. It would help to have better pictures from the side to be able to tell the rest, but I am going to venture to say many of them are mutts

Yea, I'm starting to think about 85% of my flock are mutts, which is fine. I guess when hatching time comes it will just have to be a surprise

The ones I posted above are definitely not Easter Eggers though. None of them have pea combs, and all of them have single combs.
I've got several Easter Eggers, both with & without beards, but they all have pea combs.
 
The orangish one looks like a golden nugget or comet. The two white sisters look t
Like a sussex mix and the orange and white one looks like a golden nugget or comet and sussex mix.





Note: the golden comet is the same as the golden nugget, people just call them different names. I know you probably know that, I just wanted to make sure there was no confusion or anything.

Yes, I've recently discovered the comet/nugget/star breed (basically red sex-links). I find it hilarious that there are at least 5 names for this breed. LOL! I have 3 hens of this breed. They are distinctly that red/white color.

The lighter one above is more of a dark creme color, and the dark one at the bottom is a deep honey color. I now believe both of them are a mix of a white breed with Rhode Island Red. The people I bought these from had a lot of fully white chickens as well as RIRs. The sisters are both white with black specks in their feathers. I have a very colorful flock

I'll try to get some better photos, but my girls haven't learned how to properly pose for the paparazzi yet.

I did a little more research, and according to what I found, the 2 sisters are a "splash" of some kind. They are white with flecks of black in their feathers. Obviously a mutt of some kind, but at least I know the color name.
