Marans or Easter Eggers??

[UrbanBlueShamrock]

Hi was looking for help id-ing some of my chickens. There are multiple options on my sales receipt : OEL, EE or Blue Wheaten Marans, Blue Wynandottes.

They are now a little over four months old and I have no idea what's what!

Please help!!

1) splash marans?
2) No idea
3) blue marans
4) blue copper maran
5) blue or black wyandotte, hard to tell
6) can't tell
What does OEL stand for?

whats OEL?

It stands for olive egg layer. Here's a link to a thread on this site that discusses them if you're curious.

Thanks for the imput.

Any suggestions on how to tell an EE from other breeds? I was under the impression they can be greatly varied.

- All the feathered legged ones are marans.
-#2 may be an olive egger. It is not an easter egger or it would have a pea comb.
-#5 is a wyandotte (rose comb).
-#4 Blue wheaten maran
By the way, olive eggers are often a mix of a maran because marans make the olive color of the eggs more vibrant, so keep that in mind.
They are cute!

Sorry I can not be of more help!
