What breed?

[Sarasarasara222]

I have had a chicken who hatched three chicks answer they are grown now, I’ve always thought they were Swedish flower hens however I’m beginning to doubt this. There were two potential fathers - a shiny black/brown with a pea comb and the classic orange and white rooster. I’ll attach photos below, my guess for the brown hen is perhaps a cream legbar?

Interesting! What color eggs does your hen lay? I'm going to agree with you on her being a cream legbar. It might be easier to determine the father once they are completely feathered out. Are the little white chicks in the picture the ones she hatched?

Unless you have pure parent stock, the offspring will be mixed.

Hen is a mix, not ccl. All appear mixed, which crossed result in mixed breed chicks

All are mixed breeds.

The hen must have some Wellsummer... color wise and all... she's really cute, but is she wearing a toupee ?

Yes she had four chicks now they are about 9 weeks old!

Any ideas as to what breeds have been mixed for each of them?

Just my very short experience, but my mixed hens seem to be a more resistant to diseases than my pure breeds, could be coincidence, just curious if anyone noticed that too.
