I've crossed my Dark Brahma roo with my flock hens - will I have any new breeds or just barnyard mutts? I'm also not sure which eggs were hatched by my broody hen because she stole everyone's eggs to sit on. (Everyone started laying in the community floor nest when she went broody). Although the light one's markings do look like Colombian Wyandottes they could also come from the Dark Brahma. I've never done this before, and it's quite in-depth understanding of the genetics of chickens. The only one I'm sure of is the dark one and her egg was from my BCM. Also, the egg colors from the others were similar, as well. Thanks in advance for your help.
Photos attached: There are 3 pullets/cockerels - 2 white/black, 1 black; everyone has feathered feet.
Hens:
Colombian Wyandotte
Buff Brahma
Black Copper Marans
Barred Rock
Lavender Orpington

I shudder to think about the upcoming goings on amongst my lil flock soon. It outta be a hoot: bantam cochins, welsummers, dark and light brahmas, turkens, assorted marans, buff orps. Not sure how many/which are roosters. I do know all the turkens should be and out of five brahmas ordered you KNOW they'll send some roos.

Oh well, let the games begin!

I'm new to chickens myself, but your chickens are gorgeous and even if they are all barnyard "mutts" they will be beautiful. Good luck with your new chicks. 🐣🐥🐔🐓

This is a good way to calculate color outcome.
it doesn’t have every breed, and it definitely doesn’t have many color varieties.
The two light colored ones look columbian.
I'm pretty sure Black copper Marans are birchen. "E^R"(birchen/crowing). Someone let me know if I'm correct about that.
 
If you put a dark brahma rooster with barred rock hens, they will be sex link. Males will e black with a spot on their head. Females will be all black. Ove done it once.
Supposedly that works with cuckoo marans hens too (they loom very similar to barred rocks), but I haven't tried it.
