Need help from the experts!

I have recently added 3 new lovely ladies to my flock. I am almost positive 1 is a Welsummer, fairly certain 1 is a Black Copper Maran, and the last I just can’t decide! My undetermined is the all black one. They are all roughly 6 months old. I would expect the defining characteristics to be there by now. The previous owner doesn’t know much about the actual breeds of chickens in general.

Welcome to BYC!

I can't say I can help you, I'm terrible with breeds. I hope you find someone that could help you!

Does the black one have a black mouth and feet?

All appear to be crossbreds to me.

Agree all look to be an EE mix, the last one is maybe a Cockerel or getting ready to lay. Can't make out the hackle/saddle feathering. The black one ?

Mixed breeds.
It looks like an EE is possible in the middle bird, and the last one I agree may be a cockeral or possibly a Black Star hen if it is at point of lay but it looks more young roosterish.

You do not have a Black Copper Marans or Welsummer in the bunch. Sorry.

But welcome to BYC! Mix breeds are a lot of fun, and many of us enjoy them.

Black feet yes. Outside of beak is mostly black and inside if yellowish.

Thank you everyone! I just checked on them in quarantine and someone laid a light brown egg. Looking into it closer all your replies make so much sense. The pictures I have looked up are much closer to your suggestions than my initial thoughts. Thank you again for the insight!

me thinks maybe all Easter egger as the brown egg she referred to barnyard mixes would need better profile views to determine more
