General question help please!!!

Hi!
I hatched these from my own flock but not sure who all the parents are.
I do know the one with 5 toes came from our blue silkie mom and the other 2 were bantam easter egger moms.
I have 3 males, a calico frizzled cochin bantam, a spangled oegb and a bb red oegb.

These 3 all have different moms, but could, and based of other recent hatches, probably do have the cochin as the male, especially having the feathered feet.

My actual question, are they sex linked with the dot on their head???

The Cuckoo Frizzled Cochin is the father most likely, so no sex linking if it was him.(He's not calico)

Sex linking with barring only works if the hen is Barred, & the rooster is solid/not barred.

So the head spots don't mean anything?
I was told he is calico because he has 3 colors. He has some gold on him.

Not in this case, no. He has color leakage

Yes, headspots mean nothing in this case, except the peeps are barred.

Calico Cochins are of a Mille Fleur coloration which is different. But often have larger amounts of white.

Ok thanks! The breeder i got them from didnt seem to know much. I hatched a mauve satin and she didnt think her birds could produce that.
She told me they were all calico. If i post the 2 girls from her can you tell me what theyd be also!? The one girl is cuckoo im sure but not sure on the other!
