What can you tell me

[LizGio]

Not sure if anyone is super familiar with chick patterns and features enough to distinguish breed just yet. Can you rule anything out?

Options:
Americana, Black Copper Maran, French Wheaton Maran, and Olive Eggers.

Hatched from a light brown shell.

My guess is Black Copper Marans or Olive Egger! Beautiful chicks!

Can you rule anything out?

You can rule out wheaten because the color is wrong.

I think you can also rule out black copper as the legs aren't feathered, though the pattern is close. Bare minimum you could rule out not bred to the French standard of perfection.. which includes egg color having hatched from a light brown egg.

It looks like it might be bearded and is that a straight comb?

Possibly OE.. out of the options given.. except from a light brown egg.. maybe more EE than OE. Also if the "AmerIcana" they were crossed with might not be pure for blue egg genes and may be a wild card. Who was the rooster in the mix? Coming from a brown egg.. has to be the Ameraucana/EE in order for OE to be a possibility.
