So i got these chicks two months ago and they are now 4 months old ish. on another thread they suggested my chicken might be a copper maran? But i saw this thread and they look so similar to my chickens now! So i’m wondering if my two chickens are just mixed breeds.

One has very few red feathers around neck and very fluffy feet. not as much as silkies though. She is quite a birdbrain, one time their feed had worms so i dumped it all out for them to eat, they were smart enough to eat the worms and not the feed, but while the other 3 were busy looking for worms, she ate grass... It was a facepalm moment
eventually she had some worms too.
the second has a lot of red in the neck and sparse feathers on feet, also the tail feathers seem to be curved and someone suggested it might be a rooster. This one has a black chest with white dotted feathers.
They both have one white feather hidden in their wings.
I also have two golden comets pullets who are also 4 months old now. Anyone recognizes golden comets? they look like other brown chickens. They are smarter at eating when there is food, but they also seem a little bit more used to being handled by me and will be more calm instead of the black ones that try to escape more. The brown ones tend to be a little more “rude” and will snatch food (successfully most of the time) but the black ones have been eating with more gusto recently which makes me glad they are eating better, hence growing better.
I guess they are still developing tails, combs and wattles so the verdict is not out yet.
Thank you for your time
