    HELP! - Splash Copper Marans Roo, 3 mos old; pale blue-purple comb, lethargic, v skinny

    Not sure of breeds.

    Was given 3 hens/2 roosters and while I'm pretty sure one of the hens is a light Brahma, I'm guessing at the others. I'm thinking Light Brahma Rooster, Nankin Rooster, Showgirl, I'm not sure what the black hen with the red/orange chest feathers is. Maybe Black Sex-link??
