Help with breed of these 2 mixed boys please!

[Michelley1001]

Hi all! I was hoping someone could help me identify the most likely breeds that went into these 2 cockerels (9 weeks old). The one obviously has feathery legs and feet so I’m hoping that will help identify him. I know they are mixed but I got the eggs for my broody to hatch from someone who lives close by but they just told me they are barnyard mixes and I’m just curious what they might be! Thanks!

The first is probably a Cochin cross. The second maybe a barred rock cross. It's difficult to be sure with mixed breeds.

Thanks for the reply! I do know they have a barred rock roo but I think they have more than 1 roo. Actually 4 out of my 7 chicks are very BR looking.

The barred one looks just like a Sapphire gem cockerel, so if they have a SG rooster, that is probably the father. Otherwise, a barred rock crossed with maybe some type of splash hen.

The second one is a bard rock /lavender Orphington mix

Can't be. It appears blue. You wouldn't get that coloring from that cross.
