I think my feed store mixed up some chicks.

I bought what I thought to be an Olive Egger and a Midnight Majesty Maran, but the bird I thought was the MMM now is barred like a cuckoo Maran, and the OE is black with fluffy feet. I think the latter is an OE because I know that Copper Marans are often used to breed OEs. But is what I thought to be a MMM maybe a CM? Thanks.

Edit: I added photos in a reply. They are about 2 months old.

The barred chicken may be a male midnight majesty marans. I've read that they are made by breeding a bcm rooster to a cuckoo marans hen. If so, the males would be barred.
Or, you may have them mixed up. The barred one could be the easter egger if a cuckoo marans rooster was used.
Good luck. I hope they are both females.

the one on the top is the supposed MMM, on the bottom OE.

The barred one could be a MARAN. THE BOTTOM ONE IS CUTE ..def may be an olive egger

The barred bird could be a MMM, they are a sex link. Females black, males barred. The black could be an OE, Marans is often used to make them so they can have feathered legs.
