Need help, what breed??

[nataliab]

Hi there,
I have five (one dust bathing) chickens here at about 16 weeks and I'm fairly confident the golden brown and the marble black and white are hens, the other two are boys (including the dust bather, who already has substantially bigger comb and waddle to the other two boys). But i wanted to find out your opinion on their breed?

Ive had suggestions of wheaten maran? The "father" had the same chest as the black and white marble from the glimpse i got of him when taking the chicks from a local in my area. She said the mother was part bantam which is why she is smaller than my other hen, but these chicks are her size already. any clues?The golden brown has green legs!?

Is it possible these are mixed breeds? They don't look like any breed I've ever seen, and those green legs really throw things off.

I sincerely doubt they are wheaten Marans, which look like this: http://bit.ly/13cZ5tV

Sorry I can't be more help.

They're classic Barnyard Mix.

Yeah, classic barnyard mixes. There's two boys- on each end of the perch. Dark colored with gold starting to show up on necks- that's roo coloring coming in.
