Barred rock and marans have single combs. I believe Dominique have rose combs, but I am not that familiar with them. It looks like the one may have a beard. Common in EE Are the combs pea combs? Or maybe even modified pea combs? Those are common combs for Easter Eggers.
Breading EE to be barred is not uncommon. Also not all EE have beards

At first I thought Dominique, but they should have yellow legs, I believe. I think olive eggers made with cuckoo marans.
Where did you buy them?
The neighbor- which was a first for us. We had lost one of our barred rocks with the sudden heat here in Texas. The flock had been crying at night and leaving her space on the perch open. My son said she had said one was an Easter egger and one a barred rock- not both barred rocks like I had thought. They are the sweetest. ❤

They are very pretty. I would imagine the neighbors' rooster is a barred rock or a Dominique. The mothers are likely where the easter egger cheeks, and the pink legs come from. I'll bet you get some pretty eggs.
