What breed?

[mommab85]

I ordered an all female rainbow assortment of chicks from Meyer Hatchery and I’m very inexperienced with breeds. Can anyone tell me what these two are (and are they the same breed)? They have feathered feet and no puffy cheeks. They’re a week old. Thank you!

My guess is both are marans or an olive egger mixed breed.

Thank you! I was hoping Marans because I never got a chance to order any (and I’m at my limit) so fingers crossed! Either way, the eggs will be pretty (and tasty)!

They look like Black Copper Marans to me.
