Lavender Maran with Beard?

[backyardchicks]

I have two 9.5 week old chickens that hatched out of dark chocolate colored eggs. It was labeled as a Lavender Maran, but I am wondering if this is what a lavender maran looks like? It is quite a bit darker than my Lavender Orpingtons. They both have single combs, not developed or colored at all and both without wattles and both have beards. Hopefully pullets? What breed do you think this is and would you guess pullet?

You have Blue Olive Eggers. The cock was an Ameraucana which is why the pullets sport beards, muffs, and pea combs.

Agree

Looks like a blue Americana to me. That is a pullet

The yellow showing on the legs/feet is one definite tell that bird is not a pure aneraucana

What a beautiful Pullet! She will lay you dark green eggs!

I looks to have a single comb, not a pea comb. Most likely still Olive Egger?

That's a pea comb, as a pullet a small, narrow ridge at this point is expected....a single comb would have characteristic "saw teeth" developed along the ridge
