A little help identifying breeds?

[Gooseface]

So I’m being offered some chicks. I was told they are a hodge podge of brown egg layers and some ameracaunas. I was wondering if anyone could help identify their breeds. Specifically the circled ones. Black Maran perhaps?

What do their shanks look like?

Feathered legs or no? Could be Australorp, Jersey Giant or black sex link.

I don’t have any pics of their legs. I don’t actually have the chicks. I was hoping to identify them before I drive out to pick them up. I have australorps and it looks like the circled chicks are not lorps. The chicks in question look like they have black beaks and no white on their chest. So I really don’t think they are lorps. That is the only pic I was sent of the chicks

That could be Dominique, Barred Rock, Black Star (sex-link), Australorp (though you've ruled them out), Marans ... So many start out looking just like that. Sorry I'm not any help from this pic.

Yeah, that picture is not ideal for identifying the breed lol

These black ones are light Brahma x australorp for reference.
