Unsure what these are, other than chickens.

We got 6 “pullets” to add to our flock. The bin was labeled EE & marans. We know one is an EE but the other 5 are clearly neither EE nor marans.

They’re feather footed but they all have different combs? I think I see one pea comb, one rose comb and then the rest have single combs. Cochin crosses, maybe? They’re about 6 weeks old and I fear more than one is not, in fact, a pullet.

Please see the photo guidelines when posting for breed and/or gender ID. 😊
From what I can tell these all look female. Some do look like Marans but could also be Olive Eggers, which often have Marans in them.
 
This bird is a cockerel. You appear to indeed have Easter or Olive Eggers and Marans. The potential Marans are the birds with single combs, others are Eggers. :) Update in a couple weeks for more genders as solid colored birds can be difficult :)
