Babysitting chicks, what breed?

[prin23]

I'm babysitting these chicks for a few days, my friend was told by the feedstore they were both black copper marans.

Obviously one is not black, she has beautiful lavender/grey colored feathers.

The other one is mostly black so far, just has some solid white feathers on his wings. I'm guessing those will molt out? Is he a black copper?

Are they still marans? Just one is a lavender maybe?

TIA!

(Edited to add they are not bantams)

Black one: male
Lavenderish one: female

They are a little young to tell breed but they both have featherd feet so they could be mixes.

To young though to tell for sure.

I think that they could be Marans because the French strain of Marans do often have feathered feet and legs, but not usually fully feathered. My Maran hen Opal has a good amount of feathers on her legs. Usually the American strain of Marans do not have feathered legs I believe. I think that the other chick is probably a lavender Maran. I think that the black cockerel is a black copper Maran because I did some research and the chicks do look similar to this. They are beautiful little birds
