I am new to raising chickens, and unfamiliar with all the breeds. I wasn't aware of the proper name or spelling.

I hear you; I didn’t know that either until someone on this site corrected me years ago. I just try to pay the knowledge forward lol

Thanks! I knew I had 2 Polish Roosters, but the lady who sold me the barred (thanks for that, BTW!) chicken said he was a she, and both the black one and the barred one were copper marans. Granted they were only a couple weeks old, so maybe she didn't know. Now I have 3 roosters with only 4 hens!Not sure what to do with this!

The black pullet is an Olive Egger most likely a cross of Marans and an Easter Egger. She has a beard and ear muffs. The white pullet does not have a bearfd and muffs but I suspect she is an Olive or Easter Egger as well.

The black chicken is a hen. Can you get a closer picture of her? She doesn't look like a maran, but it might be the distance.

The barred chicken (the patteren is called barred--speckled is a different pattern) is a rooster and is not a maran. He looks is a mix. A closer pic would help determine what breeds he is mixed with.

The polish is also a rooster.

Both birds in the second photo appear to be cockerels. Agree the solid black one in the first photo is a female. I agree we need some better photos to be sure!

The black one has some pretty metallic green in the feathers but it's hard to capture on the picture

The barred cockerel is an Olive or Easter Egger too...he has a beard and ear muffs. I see gold leakage on his wings and back so he may be a mix of Golden Cuckoo Marans and Easter Egger.

Yes, we were told both the white ones were Easter Eggers, but they got the black one's breed wrong...
