I have 2 BYM chicks, roughly 5 weeks. Lady is bought them said these are the possible breeds: Black Copper Marans, Barred Rock, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island Reds, and Ayam Cemani.

We think the grey one is part Ayam going off the skin color but not sure the other half of breed.

The black and white i have no guesses at all other than it's very small. Thoughts?

I agree, the gray (technically called blue) one is probably part Ayam Cemani. The other half cannot be Marans or barred rock, because they're genetically black and can't produce a blue chick with another black breed like Ayem Cemani. I honestly don't know it's any of the other breeds either. With a RIR, I'd expect a lot of red leakage, and I don't know if that could result in a blue chick either. The EE is probably your best bet.

With the second, there's absolutely no way any of the listed breeds could produce a mottled chick like that.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. I have no idea what the little mottled one could be, just that it's tiny. And the comb is mottled as well.
