    Black or Blue Australorp?

I got my chicks from TSC and they had a bin marked "Australorps" straight run. So I got 2 to mix in with...

    BR vs Cuckoo Maran

    Last week I picked up my chicks I had ordered 3 Barred Rocks, along with others. I decided to add 3 Cuckoo Marans to my purchase before I left the store. How do I tell them apart? My BR are pullets but the Marans were being sold straight run so I want to watch and hopefully I get one pullet!
