Sold to me as a Speckled Sussex, what are they?

[CountryHeart06]

The black hens in the pictures were sold to me as Speckled Sussex but I don't think they are. I'm wondering if they're Barnevelders or maybe something else? Thanks so much!

Those look like they have pea combs, not single combs. My guess is they are Dark Cornish.

The pullet with pale legs is indeed a Speckled Sussex, and the one with yellow legs is likely a Barnevelder judging by the double lacing. Though it could be a Dark Cornish judging by the comb.
Beautiful birds!

I did know that the one with pale legs was a Speckled Sussex even though she was sold to me as a Buff Brahma

This lady did all sorts of lying. Oh well. So here's a better shot of one of the ones in question, the 2 I have are pretty identical:

Looks like a Barnevelder to me.

What kind of comb does it have?

 

[CountryHeart06]

It looks like a regular comb to me as far as I can tell. Not a whole lot coming in yet but tiny spikes.

 

[junebuggena]

Barnevelder.

 

[Wyandottes7]

Barnavelder.

Thanks everyone! I was thinking Barnevelder as well. So does anyone know much about this breed because I know nothing about them except that they're rare. Are they good layers? Good with kids? Skiddish? Thanks!
