Our girls are about 18 weeks old and I was wondering if y'all could help confirm their breeds. There are 5 ladies. Pretty sure we have a cuckoo maran, black sex link, easter egger, silver laced wyandotte, and possibly a rhode island red. The rir just seems a lot smaller than the others even though as a chick she grew the fastest.

Cuckoo Marans or Barred Rock: I can't decide if I'm seeing white feet (Marans) or yellow feet (Rock).

Black Sex link: do you mean the one with a gold head & neck, dark tail, and mixed colors in between? Black Sexlinks usually have a lot more black and less gold, so I think she's more likely to be an Easter Egger.

Easter Egger: I think there are two of those.

Silver Laced Wyandotte: agree.

Rhode Island Red: yes, or maybe a "Production Red" which is similar to a Rhode Island Red, but selected to lay more eggs and the hatchery doesn't care much about appearance and size.

Looks like your guesses are correct (unless the marans has yellow legs, then she’d be a barred rock).
