Maran, Cochin or??

Made a joint chick order with a friend and cant tell some of them apart. He ordered some partridge and blue Cochins and I blue and black copper Marans. We split them up as best we could the day they came but don't think we got it all right. Maybe from these pics you can at least help me to know which ones I took home!

The ones with feathered legs and feet are Cochins. Marans have white legs I believe

Cochins should have yellow skin and heavier foot feathering. Marans will have white skin and sparser foot feathering. If you wind up with a wrong bird, shouldn't be much of a problem to swap them back.

I thought marans may or may not have feathered feet, from the pics I saw of the parent marans they had such feathers. Ill check for skin color in the morning thanks for replying!
