For the hens with various shades of red and gold and buff, with or without black:
babies will look a bit like a cross of the father's color & pattern, and the mother's color & pattern.

The one with white and black dots on red will produce babies that do not show the dots, or may show just a few of them. Her babies will look pretty much like the other babies from red/gold/buff hens.

The blue hen (looks gray) will produce black babies and blue babies. There is a chance of some other colors, but if so I can't predict what they may be. (She might be a hybrid that carries other genes than what we can see by looking at her.)

The hen with black-and-white stripes will produce sexlink chicks: daughters will have some pattern of gold & black, sons will have some pattern of silver (white) & black. So her daughters will look a lot like the chicks from most of the other hens, but her sons will probably be the only chicks in the whole group that will show a lot of white in their coloring.

I'm talking about the colors when they get their feathers.

At hatch, most chicks will probably have down in shades of brown and black, arranged in various patterns. Chicks from the blue hen will probably show black or blue on their upper parts, with white or yellow on their bellies.

The hen with feathered feet will produce chicks with feathered feet.

Since the father is a Wyandotte, you should get lots of chicks with rose combs. You may also get some chicks with single combs, or you may not (some Wyandottes carry the gene for single comb and some do not.)
