What are your guesses on the parent breeds? I got the hatching eggs off a lady on Craigslist but the chat is gone and I don’t have her information to ask about her flock

What color eggs did they hatch out of? It is probably going to be impossible to tell at this age but the egg colors may be a clue. Were they sold as barnyard mix?

Yep sold as a mix, all hatched from light blue/green/brown eggs. All pale eggs nothing too dark.
 
The blue/green eggs most likely came from Easter egger hens, as none of the chicks look like legbars. I was thinking the black/blue ones looked kind of like marans, but they don’t have feather legs. Really cute chicks regardless of parentage!

I was thinking a possibility of blakc australorp for the darker ones due to the black/yellow.. especially the one with the bicolor beak. But yes, adorable!!!
