I'm...I have no idea what that is but it's definitely not a Speckled Sussex or a Light Sussex, it's probably a mix. You can ask @fluffycrow they might know.

Looks like a Speckled Marans pullet to me, maybe split from Blue.

I indeed received a blue copper Marans as well, who was supposed to be a black one.
This is outrageous!

Call the hatchery and ask what substitutes they sent instead of your original breed choices.

Blue splash marans do exist, it's very possible this girl is that. Do you know if there are any in your country?

He sent “three black copper Marans and three speckled Sussex”
And he insisted on it! Even though I had two(!) white chicks and a grey chick.
(One black died the next day and I other black died a couple of weeks later)

He DID try to push on me grey Brahma.

Where did you purchase the chicks? There might have been a mix-up with the orders, it happens.

They have black copper, brischen, blue silver and splash.
