If there is a remote possibility that they are crossed, I won't even venture a guess because when they are crossed the "V's" and the "eyeliner" IMO no longer count. I had some Barnie cross Wellies and thought for sure that the tale tell marks were going to tell me what they were but to my dismay when they grew out it was a different story. With that said they do look pretty darn pure, but one will never know for sure unless they were segregated from the get go. Sorry I'm no help on this one.

I do think 2 of them are pure, the 3rd I'm not positive on. Ah well, I'll just wait til they feather out, then I'll know if they are pure or not. It doesn't really matter, because whether pure or not, the girls will be going to a friend that wants to start raising chickens for eggs. I'm keeping a couple olive egger girls for myself though. I just have to wait until I figure out who are boys and who are girls.

I will be patiently waiting to see your olive eggers from this cross and eggs when they start laying. You know, I've seen tons and tons of olive eggers that have been produced with Marans, but one hardly ever hears of or sees the OE's produced from the crossing of a Wellie. I have yet to make that cross but am in the process of it, I have put Odin in with one of my OE's she is AM x Marans, she is blue, so you have my full attention with your new babies and their progress.
