The BH looks like a normal. Although I can see a blue tinge to his wing. :purplex: That might be the pic.
The RH seems to be a SFYB
Assuming no unseen head colour splits in any of the birds and pairing BH to BH and RH to RH you would get

BH PC/w GB

and
R/b PC/w SFYB cocks (just like Dad)
R/b PC/w GB cocks
BH PC/w Yellow hens
BH PC/w GB hens
