Help with Breed ID?

I wonder if was a mix but was labeled as something else. I have 7 sapphire gems and their feathers are a good bit lighter than yours, but some have black skin and DARK red combs. Still red but very dark.

Here are the others that came with her (she’s in the middle) and I was told they were blue cuckoo marans. But honestly when I look up different breeds they all look the same to me!! Clearly I’m no chicken expert!!

Yep, they do look to be Marans! From the looks of it they seem to lack barring so blue rather than blue cuckoo however!

Is a blue maran the same as a blue copper maran?

Nope! Blue copper with have gold in the hackles of pullets and gold/orange on the hackle and saddle feathers of cockerels! Blue copper is just the blue version of black copper!

I'm leaning towards Fibro Easter Egger. They're starting to pick up popularity and some of the bigger hatcheries are now carrying them.
