Guess my breeds (I do know what they are)

Ok, I will have to tell you the pullets to choose from:
An Australorp
A Welsummer
A Golden Laced Wyandotte
A Cuckoo Maran
A Sapphire Gem
A Blue Dutch Bantam

The cockerels to choose from:
A Buckeye
I'm going with the GLW.
 
Well, the buckeye father explains the pea comb!

The chicks being mostly brown, I think the mother is probably the Welsummer.

There's a chance it's the Wyandotte (less likely, because rose comb + pea comb = walnut comb, but you said it's pea.)

There's also a chance the mother could be the Sapphire Gem (because that's typically a hybrid cross, so it might be hiding the genetics to produce that color.) I think the chicks have black patterning in their feathers--if they actually have blue, then the Sapphire Gem becomes my first guess for mother.
Although I did not tell you about the comb on the GLW until after you answered you are correct. The chicks I showed are Buckeye Gems. The other back chick next to them is an Australeye.

Are the dark markings in their feathers blue or black? I couldn't tell in the photos.
(Sapphire Gem was my first choice for mother if they have blue, but my third choice if they have black.)

:hit

Jk! I thought the markings looked black so GLW made sense to me.
Sapphire Gem is cool though! So are the markings blue like Nat said?
No, They are actually black markings.
