Ah...since I can't see their legs, do they have feathers on them?

Yes

Yes

Alrighty then, they are French Black Copper Marans!

You'll get some pretty eggs from them!

Yeah and the blue copper maran when it was a chick looked identical to the other two

I think the two sussex and I also have three barred rocks will be the only hens producing normal eggs because everything else lays dark brown or colored eggs like my Easter egger

Correct!

1 of the black copper marans is a cockerel. I think #5. I'm impressed with the red comb and waddle development in #1. For my hens that didn't happen till weeks 17-19, right before laying. That said, both 1 and 6 look like pullets.

So at 5 weeks 6s pea comb was red with three rows and I’ve heard “three rows it will crow”

well, that's interesting. None of my French copper marans have ever had a pea comb. The roosters have all been similar to your number 5. A very obvious and "classic" red comb. It'll be interesting to see how that develops.
