What mixes are we?

Where do the splashed and barred come from?

EEs can carry almost any color gene possible, so your various colorations probably came through the EE parent.

I would say the splash one was a hatchery quality Cochin, the other one with feathered legs is most likely a hatchery quality Light Brahma and the brown one appears to be a beard-less Easteregger. I don't know that any of them are crosses, just hatchery quality.

My guesses...

Pic 2 - Light Brahma cross
Pic 3 - Easter Egger or Easter Egger cross
Pic 4 - Splash Cochin or Splash Cochin cross

They could all be hatchery-quality purebreds.

They are all VERY pretty girls!

Thanks

How can I tell if they are mixes or pure?

 

[NewHopePoultry]

The brown one lays green eggs, now Im waiting on the other two to start laying

On the barred one, the bars towards her tail are brown, but the ones on her head/neck are black.
Does that mean anything?
