I bought hatching eggs from a breeder and set them under a broody. They were supposed to be Isabel and Chocolate(cuckoo) orpingtons

but there are some that I'm not so sure about.
There are a couple that are definitely chocolate cuckoo but I'm not sure what this one is?

And there's also a.white chick that I'm guessing is a white orpington?

Two chicks with feathered feet/legs also hatched. Are they partridge brahmas?

They just hatched so I'm not sure how hard it is to tell what they are but thank you for any responses :) <3
 
The grayish one could possibly be a lavender ... Lucky if you got a white ... If all the eggs were to be Orpingtons, maybe the breeder put some surprise eggs? You could call to ask. The feathers foot/legged could be Brahma. Will need to wait until they grow out some before really figuring out, repost pix at 6 - 8 wks
 
Well, the light grayish one has a head spot, so its barred; whatever it is. The other light one, wait for feathers on that one. The 'brahmas'... what kind of comb do they have?

I did not see that "spot" ... Was going along the lines the eggs were Orpingtons. Frustrating when ordering one thing, getting something else. Not the first and won't be the last :hit

Looks like they might be pea? Super hard to tell right now though
 
I think the little grey one with the headspot is an Isabel Cuckoo orp. Chocolate is like Lavender so you get black from the cross right? So the Black baby with the headspot is probably from the chocolate pen but is actually a black. On those feather footed babies it's hard to tell. I can't see their combs well enough to tell at all. It's possible they are Brahmas but are just as likely to be Partridge Cochins. Do you have any other idea what colors and breeds the breeder has? As for the little yellow chick, I'd assume it was white. I've seen it pop up fairly frequently in Orpington flocks. It seems recessive white is lurking in a lot of colors and when crosses are made for new patterns it pops up.
