Help: Advice and pictures needed

[KyKyMarie77]

Hello! I’m trying to find any pictures of people that have crossed the same birds I have so I can try to find out who the father is. I have 6 leghorns mixes that are either a light brahma dad or lavender orpington(though believed lavender) I also have 3 salmon favorelle chicks with one being a bit lighter brown that I’m not 100% whose is who and I was just wanting to see if anybody had done either:
White leghorn x LO
“ x light brahma
Salmon favorelle x LO
“ x light brahma
Here is the four babies born this week. The other 4 LH crosses and the one other salmon cross will be posted on a seperated post

And here are these five I believe these are all Lavender mixes, but if anybody has examples of both crosses that would be awesome to see!

If they don’t have pea combs, it’s likely their father is the Orpington.

How do you tell the difference between the combs when they are younger?

Compare them to the adults. They’ll look like smaller versions of the adults’ combs.

These two have single combs (and also might be cockerels):

Thank you! I’m still struggling with the combs but I think that’s because they might all be the same throughout both batches so i might be trying to look for differences when there aren’t any. These two I’ve definitely had my eye on for being roosters if they turn out to be than I’m going to rehome them, but they are very friendly so far! The babies from the second batch are pretty cool, one is like all of the light ones from this batch but the other leghorn mix is straight up yellow not just pale yellow. They both seem to have straight combs though so I think they are both still lavenders, but it’s cool to see they differences. Also the two dark ones, one is the same as the one from this batch and the other is way lighter and has more white. Im a bit skeptical of her dad but I’ll have to get some pics to verify on here.

So the second batch of babies are also giving me trouble! So there are to salmon favorelle mixes but one has way fuzzier feet and is a light lighter color, their combs only look a little bit different though so I’m not actually sure if the lighter one is a Brahma or if it’s still a lavender and just looks different. The sam goes for one of the leghorns, he/she is straight up yellow and grey while all the other ones were just white and grey. She is a lot fuzzier when you hold her and is so much softer than all of the other ones as well.

Also here are their combs up close as babies as well. The first 3 are the light browns, then there is the dark browns and then the white baby, I didn’t get the yellow one as a baby.

They look like Orpington mixes so far.

Darn, he was so mean, I was really hoping I would get some Brahma babies. The only one that was for sure a Brahma was a polish and she passed away a lot of these ones are giving off some rooster vibes as well so I might have to end up getting rid of them when I can tell for sure.
