The first chick was sold to me as a black copper maran but does not look like her sister or any images of the breed I can find. Thoughts?

The second two pictures, this chick was sold to me as a silver laced wyendottes and also looks nothing like her sister or any image of the breed I can find.

If you have any idea what breads they are or if maybe they are just not pure bread let me know. Should I confront the hatchery that sold them to me? Thanks

Hmm, #1 could be a Black sex-link (not sure though) then #2 looks like a Gold laced Wyandotte. Need better pictures to be sure though. Is the Silver laced Wyandotte in any of the pictures?
 
I got a little better pictures this morning of those two chicks. They both have a lot of gold in their wing feathers which doesn't seem right for the breeds. If anyone could let me know what they think, I would really appreciate it! Also if you can identify any cocks that would be helpful. They are all supposed to be pulletts.

Black copper maran. Does have feathered feet but a lot of gold in the ends of the wing feathers.

Silver laced wyendotte. Those stripes in wing feathers are very gold. The picture doesn't show the color well.

You'll likely have to wait until they're fully feathered.
the first bird could be a bcm who had parents that carried recessive Wheaten, that can make these brownish looking chicks.
 
That's very helpful thanks! I will see how she feathers out and then decide if I want to keep her. I'm learning if you want purebred you have to be really picky who you buy from. I will never buy from this hatchery again! If anyone in Utah wants to know who it is, im happy to share. I have emailed the hatchery and I'll see what they say.
Thanks for your help! I was starting to wonder if she was a he since the coloring was so different.
