Need help determining breed

i suspect that the buff columbian hen is a cross between EE and Brahma. she is one of the prettiest hens i have ever seen. the first roo is definitely EE but may also be part Faverolle (feathered legs, dark breast, much beard). the hen you thought might be a Flav may indeed be a Faverolle/EE cross, she shows some traits of each.

Thank you very much. I believe the little light colored hen that I thought came out of an egg marked as a Faverolle is the one laying the blue eggs as of last week. I found a blue egg shortly after she was in the nest box this morning. So an EE mix would make sense. I'll start referring to her as something else instead of the little Faverolle. It was the first time I caught her in the next box.

I didn't think she looked like a Faverolle at all. The rooster must be what hatched out of the one Faverolle egg that hatched, I just got him mixed up as a chick with the little mix hen.

That little gold one is definitely a pretty little thing - I haven't caught her in the nest box yet, I'm curious to see what she will lay.

Just to be safe, I'll keep all three and let my friend take some different birds that I'm positive aren't offspring from her birds.

I'm going to check the nest boxes again.

Thank you everyone. I'm glad I have a better idea of what I have now. All the other were so obvious and distinctive, there was never any questions as to their breed.

I think today I'll post a photo of the beautiful chick I have that was in an egg marked as a Faverolle.
