I got these two girls from a local feed store and they were sold to me as a Sussex and Maran buuut after some research I'm thinking barred rock and welsummer? Also they're about 6 weeks (I think). The girl at the feed store doesn't seem so knowledgeable now that I've done some research on BYC Opinions on breed, sex and age? I'm kinda new to this.View attachment 1498179 View attachment 1498181 View attachment 1498182
 
I'm glad they're ladies! I really want to know the breed just to know what to expect in terms of personality, they're pets
I have two more babies that I'm also curious about, I bought them as ameraucana, silver laced Wyandotte, and buff orpington but they're still too young to tell I think. And most likely I got and EE instead of ameraucana.
 
Both pretty pullets! :D

Are the legs pink or yellow on the "Marans?" Looking more yellow in the picture you attached, which would indicate Barred Rock. :D Also, the other is either Welsummer or Brown Leghorn. This depends solely upon earlobe color once old enough. White = Leghorn, red = Welsummer.

Barred Rock
Welsummer or Brown Leghorn. When they develop their earlobes you can tell apart. W's have red earlobes, BLs have white.
