Breed Identification.....

[workaholic90]

Breed: So we bought 15 chicks and I kept 4. I am unsure of these two though. The gray should be a Blue Orpington and the black should be a Black Copper Maran. I am afraid that it could be one of the other varieties we got with the order. They were Blue Copper Maran, Barred Rock or Olive Egger. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Finally, if I wind up changing them out will it be ok to put the other chick with 10 days olds?

Looks like a Blue Orpington & Black Copper Marans to me!
The BCM has fuzzy feet and is black/white like mine, has dark skinned legs.
The Orp looks right, I don't think it's a blue Marans since it doesn't have feathered legs.

I have chicks in the same brooder who are 3 weeks apart, no problem. I actually think the older chicks sort of became the flock "leaders" with the younger chicks, it worked out perfectly.
