What kind of marans produce this coloring? All 4 chicks of this type look like this. The breeder said he has 4 kinds of marans. I only saw his splash and black copper. Don't have his contact info anymore.
I got them from a breeder who said they were marans. But they don't look like marans. Don't recall if he had cochins. He has a huge incubator which results in large batches of chicks that are all housed together. All of his chickens are separated by breed.
Do they look like langshans? He has...
I got 10 assorted marans yesterday ranging from a couple weeks to 4 weeks. The breeder I got them from had many chicks all in the same pen outside. He fed them cracked corn (don't think they have ever gotten chick feed or immunizations).

Purchased this pullet as an Ameraucana from a tiny farm store in the city. Is it a true Ameraucana or is it an EE? I have 4 EE already who had the typical green feet. This one does not, but has the cheeks.
My husband purchased some new baby pullets for me. They came from a local farm store who gets them from a breeder, not hatchery. Please tell me what you think they are. I have my ideas but want to hear yours.

Can you please help identify the breeds of these week old chicks. We got them from an "assorted rare breed pullets" bin at a local farm store.
#1-This one appears to be bantam sized. Smaller than the rest. Not single combed.
#2- partrige rock? Has a single comb.
#3- does not have a...
