One of my hens hatched out this chick on July 11th so it’s at 4 months of age. The father is a white leghorn/maran cross. Not 100% which hen is the mother. Could be an australorp or a golden comet. The last picture is the father. Thinking the black legs of australorp are showing up

There weren’t any of those eggs under the mother. She only hatched out 2 chicks. I know for certain that one of the two in the second picture came from a golden comet egg. Those are the two that were hatched.

Well one parent is split for blue legs then. I hatched one with blue legs and neither parent had blue so male was split because his mother was an easter egger
 
I believe you're right about Australorp being the mother. Since the father is split for yellow legs, if the Golden Comet was the mother you'd see offspring with yellow legs, & some with white legs.
