Hello!

I have 7 chickens born around April 25, so 9.5 weeks old give or take a day. We were told we got 2 Ameruacanas (B & G), 2 blue cochins (C & D), 2 Plymouth barred rocks (F & T), and 1 mystery (H). I suspect the mystery is a cuckoo maran. That unmarked picture is T.

I've thought T was a roo, but I keep changing my mind. The cochins are nearly impossible to tell apart, but D is bigger than C.

Thank you for your help!

G&B are definitely Americanas all the way, F,T,&H are barred rocks, and D&C are blue Cochins. They all look like pullets to me except for F.
Beautiful by birds!
 
I'm thinking "G" is a Cockerel, rust coloring on the wings makes me concerned but maybe someone else with more experience can tell me I'm over thinking it :) I'm also guessing the others are all Pullets, lovely choices by the way.

Yeah, G would be another guess for us. Goldie as we like to call them has been the most outgoing of the bunch since the beginning. The hybrids are so hard to tell!
 
B & G are both Easter Eggers. B looks like a pullet. I'd keep an eye on G, it's looking a little red.
C & D are both Cochin pullets.
F has some fluffy stuff under his chin making me think and EE or OE? T (I'm assuming is the second to last picture without a letter?) also has some fluff under her chin by the looks of it.
H is most likely a Cuckoo Maran pullet.

Yeah, even though the hatchery claimed Ameruacana, I knew that was very unlikely. They're very pretty and we won't be showing them, so no loss to me 🙂

T still has almost no tail feathers. It would be fun if she ended up an olive-egger with a smidge of araucana.
