HELP! Cinnamon queens and black bantam Cochins???

[Cchurch1994]

I got these lovely ladies at Coastal. They were Hatchery Choice random batch, but it turned out to be 18 birds of only 2 breeds. I have no idea what they are, please help!!

They are 6-8 weeks old now, black ones have feathered feet and little white tips on their wings and under their beaks. As babies their whole underside was white.

the red/cream colored ones were yellow as babies but have started getting really red and cream colored now.

Yes, the cream ones look like production hybrids.
The black ones...I wonder if they have Maran blood.

Without better pics, I'd say BCMs/MMMs and RSLs.

I’ll try to get better photos when I am home in a couple hours and I’ll post them.

If they have Maran, does that mean I could get brown eggs? Which color would the production hybrids be?
Thank you everyone!!!!

Production layers lay brown. Marans tend to lay darker.

Both breeds mentioned would give you brown eggs.

Do all the red ones have white on them as well? If so, they're all Red Sexlinks. Due to their popularity, I bet the variety of Marans is the "Midnight Majesty" which is basically a Black Sexlink made with Marans varieties (black and cuckoo).

I agree, Black Copper or Midnight Majesty Marans.
And then LIKELY a bunch of Red Sexlinks. But there's a chance a few could be Whiting True Greens. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/whiting_true_green.html
