A pure BJG isn't gonna produce a chipmunk stripe chick.
What color are my mixed chicks?

To be sure of the father:
single comb mother (Australorp, Jersey Giant) and single comb father (Jersey Giant) MUST produce single comb chicks.
single comb mother and pea comb father (Buckeye) should produce pea comb chicks, although the combs will likely be larger and less-tidy than the comb of a pure Buckeye.
Chick colors:
Black chick should grow up black.
First striped chick will probably have some pattern of brown and black as it grows up, or possibly white and black. (If white and black, then it's a cockerel. Brown and black could be either gender.) I cannot tell what pattern will be in the feathers, just that black and another color should be present in some arrangement.
Second striped chick that you say is lighter--same as the first striped chick, except that the "black" may be replaced with "blue." (Not guaranteed to have blue, but maybe.)
Agreed.
@sadness child Where did you get your Jersey Giant? I assume the eggs were brown, so what other brown egg layers do you have?
(My guesses about color should still be right for the striped chicks, no matter who the mother is. And I'm pretty sure the former Jersey Giant male is not the father of those striped chicks.)

The first hatched black chick and the chipmunk chick are female.
