If those are the parents that are being used by Novogen to produce the hybrid birds, probably none of them are pure breeds.

For the Novogen Tinted ones, they probably have a lot of White Leghorn in their ancestry, but I think there must be a bit of influence from some other breed as well (hen has red earlobes, body shape is a bit off from Leghorn, the hybrid daughters lay "tinted" eggs rather than white ones.)

For the Novogen Silver, the male in the picture is colored like a Delaware and the female in the picture is colored like a Rhode Island Red. Again, I doubt they are actual purebreds of those breeds, but I can't say what else may be in their ancestry. For these, I can't easily point to specific traits that are wrong for those breeds, I just feel that they don't look quite right.
