they were all suppose to be blue/copper marans...the one in the top picture on the right im unsure and is my one im trying to find out what it is? Mossy? never heard of that color but i am new to the life of backyard chickens. Ive searched online for that color of chick but can find one.
but all five that made it through the hatch are all different colors. believe the biggets is a roo and a black/copper maran, white Sex? white splash maran, blue ? brown/ roo ? other black? could any body help with the gender and type of marans?

the big black one is in the bottom pick
Ended up with 6 chicks but just lost the last chick that hatched
Tried to save it since Friday. The last 3 that hatched were so much smaller than the first 3
When I got home this evening the one that pipped 24 hrs ago had not made it any further.
Thought the lil guy had died so was removing him and heard him peep. So I helped him out of his shell n had a bad smell but unsure if it was just that one or the rest of the opened eggs inside! Is on his...
still have only 3 hatched this morning. the one that pipped yesterday evening around 7 hasnt gotten much further....can see is beak now. think he will be ok? worried he's taking to long.
sequoiacyclist, yes they were shipped eggs. Bought off Ebay from "Gabbard Farms" becuz i didnt realize that i could get them from BYC members. were packaged very well and feedback was 100%. Checked them this morning and none of the others had piped yet Hopefully will have a couple more...
got home from work tonite @ 6 and had a chick hatched
Wasn't suppose to be here until Thursday...now just hope the lil guy/gal keeps peeping
to encourage the other 7 that made it this far!
