I have a connundrum... can anyone help me figure out what these chicks are?

Basket hatched, there were 5 RIR X Ameraucana eggs (supposedly) and 2 Cream Legbar X Black Copper Marans eggs (supposedly). I got 4 EEs (RIR X Am), 1 confirmed sexlink (CL X BCM), and two ?? single comb chicks.

Most of my EEs look like this, black with pea comb.


One chick is single comb with headspot, so I know it is a male sexlink (Cream Legbar X BCM).



These are the mystery chicks:




Possibilities:

1. The stripey one may be an actual cream legbar, BUT the coloring is slightly off from most of my Cream Legbar girls. I'm thinking this is either pure CL or it could be a female sexlink. (This was my first hatch of the sexlink eggs so I don't know what they will look like besides males will be barred).

2. One of them may be from a rooster hopping the fence to the RIR girl- either Barnevelder or Jubilee Orpington. Barnevelders are stripey but not quite like the striped chick. Jubilee Orpington chicks do look somewhat like the gray chick.

Anyone have anything else I can use to tell? If only the sexlinks had both hatched with Maran leg feathers I would know for sure!
