A couple weeks ago I got some new chicks to add to my flock and since then I've lost track of who's who with three of them. The breeds are: Cuckoo Maran, Wyandotte, and a Production Blue (Rhode Island Red/Blue Australorp cross). They're all currently 3 week old pullets, each a different breed. I tried my best to photograph them, any help is greatly appreciated!!

#3 is definitely your Wyandotte. Not sure about the other two. I’m not overly familiar with them. I’ll take a closer look.

I actually think that #2 maybe your production. The comb makes me think RIR and I thought I saw some small reddish feathering on the chest area.

Which means #1 would be your Maran.

#1 has a rose comb. Marans have single combs.

Updated pics below (now 7 weeks old). It's come to my attention that there was possibly a mixup and I might've been given two breeds instead of three (no maran?). I'm no longer able to edit the thread starter to reflect that. And, yes, #2 has a very red chest now
