Calling on the pro’s to offer their 2cents on the following pullets and roo’s. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I had ordered some hatching eggs from a breeder in Turkey. Originally ordered 30 eggs, 10 of which hatched, so numbers weren’t great to begin with. One of the “Legbar” marked eggs hatched into an EE pullet, while the other “Legbar” egg hatched into what seems like a Legbar Roo, his picture is included.

The other pictures are of supposed “Lavender Araucana”, Black Marans and a Blue laced red Wyandotte.

My question is this, are the following birds pure bred or mixed? I believe the araucana’s are probably mixed since the lavender ones have some yellow mixed with slate in their legs. I did also have a white hen hatch out of a black marans egg, she has clean legs unlike her black counterpart.

Can you label which chicken is suppose to be which breed? Thanks
After you label, I may be able to help some more. But it looks from the pics that yes, they're mixed.

All mixes except the wyandotte and CCLB cockerels. Both are hatchery quality birds. I see 3 cockerels and 2 pullets.
 
Honestly all may be pure. Not sure how common yellow skin is in Araucanas, but the fact it is lavender is testament to at the very least having two lavender carrying parents. I doubt first generation mix, perhaps was mixed somewhere down the lines though. The other Araucana looks pure. The Black Marans is actually birchen. :)
 
Here are some shots of the second pullet that hatched out of a marans egg, not too easy to get a shot of her as she’s always been the most skiddish of the lot

Definitely not a Maran.

Doesn't look like a pure Easter Egger either. It has EE in it, the way it looks, but is not pure. It's legs should be a darker color and it should have a Pea comb. Like pictured:

Plus white is a uncommon solid color for an EE (Easter Egger). EE is the only breed that I can see that resembles your pullet there!:D

Could be a Marans assuming earlobes turn out to be red and she lays brown eggs. While she doesn't look exactly like what I would expect a White Marans to look like (she has much finer and delicate features) I am simply not familiar with the typical Marans of Kuwait. Many times breeds have different standards based on different areas of the world and have slightly different appearances. As for the legs not being feathered, she could just be bred to the English standard which calls for clean legs, versus the French and American standards call for feathered legs. She has no traits that rule out her being pure :)
