Did I get the breeds I ordered?

Hi there,
I ordered 4 chicks from my local store - they came in today. Well, one didn't survive - the partridge wyandotte, but the other 3 came in.


The chicks I should have received: cuckoo maran, welsummer, and speckled sussex. One of the chicks has feathered feet. I didn't think that was right when I was at the store, but now I'm pretty sure it's not right after doing a little more research. The chick with feathered feet also appears noticeably smaller - bantam?

Looking at pics and videos of welsummer and speckled sussex, it's really difficult for me to tell which chick I got and which one I'm missing.

Here's what I think is the cuckoo maran? Two shots of the same bird.








Here's the one I can't figure out - welsummer or speckled sussex? They tried to keep orders separate by coloring the birds - mine were purple.







And here's the lady with feathered feet - let me know if you have any ideas???





Thanks for any insight you can offer!
Kevin

The one with bandit marks on its face is a speckled Sussex.

Thanks! Just talked to the store. They think they have my welsummer, so your ID makes sense.

They also said they thought the little feather-legged guy is a cochin, but apparently unaccounted for in their ordering. Any ideas what kind of cochin?? I'm assuming bantam because she looks noticeably smaller. Well - actually, maybe I shouldn't assume its a female.

It might just be born small I had a couple chicks like that

You're right: Cuckoo Marans is the first, Sussex is the second.

For the third, does the feather footed one have a single/straight comb? If so, could definitely be a partridge cochin.

I agree, it doesn't look bantam sized, just small.
