So I got these chicks from a local person today and he was suppose to have Black Copper Marans and Silver Laced Wyandottes. Well the question is 2 that I thought might be wyandottes are different color than the 3rd I might be one. I've been looking up on here and other sites and it kinda seems there are 2 different colors of SLW chicks. Is this the case or do I have two different breeds and if so any idea what breed. I asked the guy I got them from and he said he honestly didn't know if there was a difference in patterns they were just leftover hatch he did for his buddy with his eggs and his buddy didn't want all of them. He said all he himself raises are the marans. I know they aren't the best pics but didn't want to stress them out first thing. So trying to let them settle before better pictures, but it's driving my curiousity crazy lol Thanks in advance!
P.s. there are 2 of the dark colored ones and then one of the light with brown markings one.

It'll probably be a wyandotte or a wyandotte mix, it'll be easier to tell when they're older : D
Thanks. I know it'll be easier ad they get older but was hoping someone who knew/had SLW's could tell me if either of these looked like the chick was spose to for the breed.
 
The ones with feathered feet are marans. Wyandottes have clean legs. Also combs are different. Marans usually have a singme comb and wyandottes have a pea or rose comb (looks flat and kinda smushed to the head).
 
Marans are mostly black with single combs. Wyandottes have rose combs, so they're flat. (never pea combs). The first one is a wyandotte... You'll see it better when they start growing feathers.
