OE breed IDs

[PrincessCluckington]

Hello!

We received 3 olive Eggers with our recent chick order from Meyers hatchery. Out of curiosity, what do you think the "parent" breeds are of these 3?

First one is likely a Welsummer/Crested cream legbar cross. If it develops a little crest in a few weeks then it is for sure.
Second two are likely Marans crossed with Ameraucana.
Cute chicks.

These are the OEs on 4/24. 2 of them have since sprouted the beginnings of mowhawks

Do you know what breed the blue one is. I was given one yesterday that looks exactly like that! I haven't been able to identify it. It is very sweet and follows me around.

She's an olive Egger, likely a marans / legbar cross since she's getting a mowhawk
