I got these chicks from someone, they might be mixture of colours, no clue what colour the parents are, I did get shown what the breeder thought chick 2 might look like it was barred, orange and white. any idea what colour they are?

Woop, someone told me here so I took it😅 Anyway, then what can she be? And what can the father be?

I got them from a inhumane chicken market who just cram chickens in a nasty place. So I just bought em and quarantined em
You can tell she’s not a purebred leghorn because of her crest- the tuft of feathers on top of her head. I’m guessing she’s a leghorn mix or a legbar mix.
The father also looks like a leghorn mix.
 
They're cute, but I don't have any further guesses on most of their colors right now. It seems to be fairly common for chicks to grow some kind of patterns in their feathers, then show a different pattern when they grow up.

The black ones with a few white feathers still look "black" to me, rather than mottled, but of course we won't know for sure until they are a fair bit older.
