I'm thinking now they are all mixes, with the stripey one being a Welsummer mix.

Not at all. an orpington is a true breed. A sexlink mixed with anything is just a mixOh? Sorry my cousin told me a cuckoo Maran mixed with black star makes a black Orpington so I wasn’t sure
I agree the striped one has somewhat welsummer colors but also has a ameracauna build + fluffy cheeks. Probably dad is our black ameracauna and mom is welsummer.I'm thinking now they are all mixes, with the stripey one being a Welsummer mix.
Chickens. They are all chickens. Mixed breed chickens most likely. The only possibility you have of producing a purebred chick would come from the Welsummer pair. Anything with five toes should be from the Dorking hen. Anything with muffs/beard will be fathered by the Ameraucana. Anything with a slight crest will be out of the CCL hens. You certainly don't have any Orpingtons. That would be like planting an apple tree and pulling off fruit and claiming you picked a pear.We incubated them from our hens eggs. All random from different hens so not sure which are which. We have a black Ameraucana rooster, and a welsummer rooster. We have a black star cuckoo mix hen, 2 cream leg bar hens, a welsummer hen, a silver laced wyandotte hen, and and a dorking hen.
