You saw my post about the orpington, fixing to show those two chicks there as well, and if you think some of these ones belong to the 3 roosters i didnt mention, please do tell which one you think is the father.

#2 is adorable, and definitely dels baby with those cubby cheeks

The chubby cheeks can from the possible ee father with him also being and easter egger- or are you saying is because of how chubby they are?

Maybe, can I have pictures of all the possible hens and roosters?

the two hens should be correct, heres the other 2 possible roosters (theres 1 more but i feel its unnecessary to put him in here, i doubt hes one of them)
A blr red wyandotte, according to NatJ he might be splash laced:

And a Mottled Java:

all 4 of them have some sign of puffy cheeks if you can't tell.

Where’s the EE rooster?

Where’s the EE rooster?

 

[Nero70002]

He has small muffs though, so it’s probably still dels

They are cute!

I'm a little unclear whether you listed 2 hens in the first post or 3.

If it's just the two hens with photos, and the recently-shown 3 rooster options, I think:
The laced Wyandotte rooster, if the lacing is splash, cannot be the father of chicks 1, 3, or 4 because they are black not blue. If he actually has blue lacing, then he could maybe be their father, but did not pass on the gene for blue.

Any chick with muff/beard (puffy face) must have at least one parent with that trait (EE hen or EE rooster). That definitely applies to chick #2, and I'm not sure about chicks 1, 3, and 4.

Chick #1, mother is the blue Wyandotte-looking hen, father is either the Mottled Java or the Easter Egger. Reasons: rose comb from a parent with rose comb (mother), and overall chick color.

Chick #2 has pea comb and puffy cheeks (muff/beard), so either has Del the EE as the mother or has the EE rooster as the father, most likely both because of the down color.

Chick #3 I can't tell if it has pea or single comb. Because single comb is recessive, it could be carried by just about any of the parents, so that wouldn't tell much. If the comb is pea, then at least one of the parents must be one of the Easter Eggers. Judging by the color of the chick, one parent must be either the Mottled Java father or the blue Wyandotte-looking hen. So if it has a pea comb, it could be EE x blue hen or Java x EE hen. If it has a single comb, it could still be from one of those crosses, or could be Java x blue hen.

Chick #4 I think has a pea comb. That would mean at least one parent is an EE. Considering the down color, I think the other parent is either the blue hen or the Java rooster. So that means either EE rooster x blue hen, or Java rooster x EE hen.

As they grow older, the comb types should become more obvious, and some other traits might also show up to make it more clear who has which parents. Or they might always be a bit of a puzzle.

For chick #1, does the blr wyandotte not apply- He has a rose comb doesn't he? (I thought/think he did/does) also the hens pictured are the only ones I meant to list.
