Marans and Olive Eggers

[FourandSix]

I hatched Marans and olive Eggers about a week ago, but I can’t tell who is which breed. They all look similar to me, black and gray/silverish and all but one has feathered feet. I do have pictures of a few of them that I’ve attached. Is there a way to distinguish the two breeds?

Combs. Rose and pea combs are the olive eggers, unless you used a cream leg bar.

I didn’t breed them, but i think the seller used a Marans rooster and either and Easter Egger or olive Egger hen. Are the combs distinguishable when they’re so young?

If you look really closely.

Looks like Edna and myrtle both have single combs.

Oh I can’t believe I forgot mentioning muffs and beards. Dead giveaway.

Do they all have that? I haven’t noticed any but I’m not sure what I’m looking for
