What are these? Not what i was expecting

[Munkeesmama]

These are from eggs I bought from a "breeder" on ebay. Sold as golden cuckoo marans, and Golden Blue cuckoo marans. Is that what I have? They all have straight combs. 2 or 3 have lightly feathered shanks.

there are cleaned leg and feather legged marans, and they should have straight combs. It looks like them to me.....

Marans should have straight combs. Do they have yellow or pink/fleshy colored legs?

WOW, I would really like to see them in a few months. Some look like BRs.

I guess I should have said I don't doubt they are marans (except a yellow chick, which i believe is a delaware that was accidently slipped in), but I was wondering about the colors. Don't necessarily look like ones I've seen online.

Oh she also said (after the fact) that she has gotten silver cuckoo marans from the bunch as well.

fleshy colored, definitely not yellow.

If they have fleshy colored legs and straight combs they are probably marans. A friend of mine breeds cuckoo, golden cuckoo, and silver cuckoo and says both the golden and silver cuckoo has 'popped up' from breeding her regular cuckoos.

Bottom pic looks like purebred Golden Cuckoo Marans.

you've got a bunch of roos! They can be sexed at hatch.
