I inherited these, and trying to figure out what they might be and what their colour egg genes they might have.
The bigger boy seems to me to me an Easter egger. White Ameraucana cross. Any thoughts? What would his colouring be?
And the little one woth the black splotches?

The first one is an Easter egger. His coloring is mixed and he doesn't really fit a standard pattern. Very pretty, though.

The second one looks like it is a pullet to me. It has a pea comb, so is probably also an Easter egger of some kind. I think the coloring of both is caused by the presence of the dominant white gene. This one has the same coloring as Austra whites, California whites, and Erminettes. I would call the color pattern erminette, I suppose, but it is not the pure breed known as Erminette.

the little one is Splash colored. you could describe the big one as White, with notes of perhaps Salmon.
 
Thank you @JedJackson & @Chicken_tiger_catt! I had really been hoping that little one was a pullet. I think she'll make a pretty hen. I figired maybe cockerel because compared to the black one beside it, the larger comb had me thinking cockerel. That might explain why the older cockerel tried mounting her when he was first figuring out what to do with those hormones of his. 😂
Now that he has wooed some of the older hens he doesn't bother with her.
