Those are nice looking chicks. If your rooster is pure, then majority of chicks should be yellow legged, some might come green or bluish, slim to none chance at the pearl legs unless the father has something else in him. Bullock being a green legged gray would definitely explain the hen. I have always been told that the hen dresses the rooster (Around 75% of the time) and has proven it's self here. I have a few hens that are only 1/8 gray but they look like grays, and when breed to a pure red rooster they throw majority of their stags as gray and very few red. With your hen being red you should have majority red but in the last pic (but it might just be the light) it looks like you got at least one gray. But it kinda looks more like 3. And that would be about right. Just guessing because games do trick you when they are little the really dark one(s) are pullets and really light one(s) stags. But I would say you will have a good idea after a couple more good hatches. If the rooster is pure than you should have almost all (if not all) pullets red.
Here is the hen I was talking about but the offspring are off a different rooster than I was talking about. But here she is with her gray son and red daughter. Did have 2 gray stags but a predator got him. This was a line breeding I was working on but don't know if I want to set the line now that no one around here keeps chickens anymore.
