What breed would you call these?

[sable43140]

I have a handful of lavender orpington roo over cuckoo Maran chicks in my backyard. Some have a splash looking color, two have copper feathering coming in on the neck and one is all lavender (may have been from a lavender hen). What would you call their breed, or are they just considered barnyard chicks? Thanks!

Mixed breeds

Orpington x Marans crosses, that’s what I would call them.

They're cute. I love barnyard mixed chicks. How about "BMC's"?

Mixed breeds are the best.

Some of them aren't from a cuckoo Marans. Lavender Orp x cuckoo Marans is a black sex linked cross. It would result in black pullets and black barred cockerels. You have some solid blue cockerels, so they came from another hen.

I’m not great at identifying breeds but those lavenders are beautiful
