I think I have 2 EE's

I recieved 4 hatching eggs that were labeled Marans X 2 hatched out black like cuckoo Marans the other 2 hatched out 1 yellow the other yellow with silver in it. The 2 odd color ones have muffs. they all came from brown eggs. The black ones hatched out of darker brown and the others were a medium to light brown. What do you think? I wonder if maybe the roo was Marans and maybe one of the moms was an EE?

I think your right about the silvery yellow chick. Being a EE.

the darker eggs I think were probably from a cuckoo marans hen. Those two bottom chicks are going to be cuckoo colored and I'd bet they hatched from the darker eggs.

Yes the black ones were from the darker eggs. I hve tried to email the lady that sent them but no response. I really like them all and am not mad that the other 2 are not Marans just would like to know what they are. I sure am leaning toward EE's on the other 2. They are all so cute.

they dont look much like EE's.
do they have muffs?
I have a marans and an EE, but they dont look like either one.
Maybe it was a mix-up
wait until some feathers start coming in and post more pictures then.
