Help determining breeds?

[Myrtlesilkie]

Ok so got given 5 chicks a couple of weeks ago when purchasing silkies and am yet to work out what possible breeds they could be now 6 weeks old. 2 x black with darkish feet and very small rose or pea combs. 1 white also with slate feet and rose/pea. 1 very light grey cockeral I think with A rose or pea, again slate legs. 1 grey/white barred with A single comb. Help would be much appreciated as have a chicken encyclopedia right in front of me and it's not helping.

They're all crosses, I think. The lightly barred chick is a cuckoo marans cross, based upon the feathered, white legs.

We really need individual pics of each bird in question. The only one I can make out, is the barred one. It's a French Cuckoo Maran.

Here' a few more pics of the grey, black and white. The grey also has slight feathering down the legs.

Anyone??

Where did they come from? If it was a hatchery then they must be pure breeds but if you got them from from a back yard breeder then they could well be mixes. Did the person giving them to you have any breed information, or could you call and ask?

I get they'e crossed. Just trying to work out what at least one of the mix is. Right now I can see of the black ones both have ear muffs. One has a single comb and 4 toes. The other has a rose or pea comb and five toes on both feet so am leaning towards faverolle x a bunch of other things.

You have two marans or marans mixes (feathered legs). The other ones are too young to tell.
