Thanks very much for your replies! Some day I’m going to be knowledgeableNope, he’s mixed, Australorps have single combs. Some may be what some people in the US refer to as ‘Easter Eggers’, but they aren’t a breed and there’s no standard, they usually have Ameraucana heritage but this isn’t written in stone. So unfortunately, they’re all mixes. I’d keep the ones with the best temperaments
Nice! Thanks very much for your reply
The barred cockerels came from.. either barred or cuckoo hens (Rock, Dominique, non feather legged Marans but doubt this one and doubt cram Legbar)... if crossed to solid color male, will throw sex linked chicks with males having a white dot on their heads at hatch and growing out barred and females being solid. If you contact the seller and ask which breed they have we could probably help narrow down the possibilities a bit more for ya.
That's great, and then you will be sharing YOUR experience to help others as well!

No, that black one is not a purebred Australorp as noted by the incorrect comb. Can't see his face well, but agree possible EE. How fun to see them in the snow!

Adding your general location can help folks make their best suggestions possible at a glance in the future.
