So they hatched yesterday night/early this morning and their father is a light Brahma but I do not know who their mothers are! I have a solid black chick and the only black hens I have or hens with black on them is a black sex link, a silver laced Wyandotte, or a barred rock. The second chick is a darker gray/lighter gray mix, and the only hens I have that have gray on them are my Easter egger and Ameraucana. The third chick is a yellow/golden color with a little black on its head, and I have no hens with black on their heads but the only golden or brown hens I have are golden buff, buff Orpington, light Brahma, or New Hampshire red. I will attach pictures of each chick and let’s see if you can tell me who their mom is. If you can’t that’s ok but the information would be greatly appreciated!!

I also have strong suspicions that the black one will be a cockerel but who knows
 
Ok I still don’t know about the grayish one but I am 90% sure the black one is from my black sex link hen because my black sex link has gray/black feet just like the chick and my barred rocks have yellow feet along with the rooster so I’ve came to the conclusion that the darker feet are the dominant trait. And then the yellow/golden chick is from a golden buff hen because it looks just like them when they were chicks and it has the two lines down it’s back like they did. The only difference between them is the black spot on its head and I guess it got that from its dad. If anybody agrees or disagrees I could use some feedback thanks.
 
Next time keep track of which ones hatch from the barred rock. Her chicks will be sex linked. Anybody with a head spot on the back of the head, or grows barred feathers is a cockerel, with absolutely no doubt.
That said, the only one at this point, from these pics that I can tell is a possible cockerel is the light chick in pic number 5. That's a cockerel pea comb if I ever saw one!

eta: I wouldn't be able to help beyond that on who's got who for a mom until they're more feathered.
