Chicks purchased at feed store with no label. The hatchery that supplied them said they looked like a marans (the black one) and easter eggers. I think they are 5 weeks old (assuming they were a few days old at purchase). I think the marans might be a cuckoo marans pullet. I think the brown with the small yellow comb is an easter egger pullet. I'm not sure about the white one or the other brown one with the pinkish combs. That brown one barely has any tail and its feathers are growing in very oddly. I appreciate any assistance!!

What color legs does that black one have? If they are pink then you are right about her being a cuckoo marans. If they are yellow, then barred rock. This one is a pullet.
 
It is still possible that the "pullets" may not be, as they are young, but with most single combed breeds, you can usually tell by 5-6 weeks of age. Nice looking chicks!😊
Oh, and welcome to BYC!
