We have buff orphington and silver laced Wyandotte hens, and a buff Orpington roo, and these are the 2 chicks that have hatched so far! Since the eggs are basically the same colors, I do not know which check are for which breed of hen! Is it too early to tell? The darker chicks egg was a pale brown, and yellow baby was a bit darker if that helps at all.

The ones with single combs should be from the Orpingtons and the ones from the Wyandottes should have rose looking combs.
Sometimes Wyandottes carry a single comb gene so that's not 100% full proof.
