Well I know the breed but they look different...i think.

So I hatched some mixes! These two are mixed with a Plymouth partridge rock hen
and a EE rooster.

I just figured they would look something like the mom or dad as chicks.

Mom as a chick

Mom as an adult

Dad as a chick

Dad as adult

They look more like my welsummer and speckled Sussex when they were chicks. Is this just "baby hairs" and it will change?

The father is an Easter egger, which is a mixed breed to start with. It's impossible to guess his genetic make up by looking at him. You will just have to wait and see how they feather out, that's the fun of mixing breeds, you never know what you are going to get.

Usually first generation crosses have the coloring of the darker parent. The second generation crosses will start to bring out more of the lighter coloring.

since EEs are not a purebred, and you are mixing color patterns as well, you really can't expect them to look like the parents, honestly. Chick down is not fully representative of the adult look though, so only time will tell what they end up looking like.
