Are we both black marans? Do we all look like pullets so far?

We ordered various breeds from Meyers and split the order. I am trying to figure out if I ended up with both black copper marans... All the black chicks looked a lot a like. Choices are black australorp, black copper marans. ( I have one because she? Has feathered feet) Olive eggers and cuckoo marans -which I think I have instead of barred rock. They look like pullets but some are starting to get pink - we are 8 weeks old.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking. black australorp
from the top: black marans, cuckoo marans, blue marans/orp?, australorp, cuckoo marans

the black marans is in the back, australorp in front
 
It looks like your barred birds are Cuckoo Marans, and you have some Australorps and one Black Copper Maran. I think that all of your birds are pullets-- by now, a rooster would have a larger, redder comb.
