So the hatchery we got them from says these are americano/opengton/barred rock mixed.

These are the 5 babies we picked that are 1 week old.

Also will they be fine to breed with a golden comet rooster?

Answered in another thread.

You have mixed breed birds. You can definitely breed with another mixed breed (Golden Comet) rooster.

Mixed breeds tend to be hardy and lay well (although not as prolifically as the commercial layer breeds, like a Golden Comet). However, they tend to lay longer by not playing out or developing disease at 2 years of age.

You are essentially developing a home mix brew of sustainable laying birds. Not a bad goal.
