Given the feathered legs, they might be either Cuckoo Marans chicks or Barred Cochin chicks, but the Cuckoo Marans chicks usually only have a single white spot on top of their heads (at least some of your birds appear to have two), and their legs don't appear to be heavily feathered enough to be Barred Cochins.

They are too young to sex. I think they are all mixes, including the first. The coloring does not look right for a pure Faverolles pullet.

It has yellow skin so it can't be a Cuckoo Marans, I'm thinking it's a Barred Plymouth Rock cross.

I agree

This is all so neat and thank you all for your input. My family and i actually get excited to look and see what has been said

so for now well say there a fav and Plymouth cross....we think. Lol. Cgeck back in a couple weeks when there bigger and possibly a few im ordering.

Ok, spoke to my aunt finally and heres the possibilties...she has 2 Fav Roo's- Fav hens, blue cochin hens, and aracouna hens. So those would be the only possibilities lol. Knowing that, is there a better guess at what is what?

 

[keesmom]

I would guess the black ones are Fav x Cochin. That would explain the yellow legs. The white/buff could be Fav x EE (I'm guessing she has hatchery "araucanas", which are really Easter Eggers). The first could be a pure Faverolles, but the down pattern and current feathers look a little off. That may be due to the genetics of her Faverolles or the chick is also Fav x EE.

I agree, but I would post more pictures in a few weeks to be sure
