Black copper maran or black australorp?

I don't see face whiskers on any of those like you normally see on an EE...?

These babies are driving me crazy. From my research, I'm pretty sure they are black australorps but the seller keeps telling me that where she buys her eggs they dont breed black australorps. She keeps telling me they are black copper marans. They have black legs and ink on the bottom of their feet. They're 5.5 weeks old now. Solid black with white tis on their wings. If they're black australorps then I feel much more confident that this one is a pullet. Not sure if marans grow combs early on like australorps.

Australorps for sure

Australorps for sure

They are definitely not australorps. I'm leaning towards olive eggers but we will be sure in a few weeks once they start laying. One has muffs and a beard

They're 13-14 weeks old so hopefully we will get some eggs soon

Now that you mention it, and I looked closer, one does have the muff. Though I have olive eggers to and they don't look quite like mine yet. They could be, but could also be mixed to.

It seems like time goes so slowly until that first egg comes!

I'll try to get s better picture of the one that has the muffs and beards. She definitely has them. She looks like a little chipmunk.

Her muffs and beard have gotten so much bigger. I'll try and get a picture but were raining and have been for.a few days. She resembles my EE a lot. I'm honestly just glad.that they all.turned out pullets.

I can get you a pic of my adult olive egger if you want a reference of what she'll possibly look like as an adult if you want.
