What Maran is this???

[CrazyChicken Lady]

Hello all, we recently bought Marans from a local farm store when we got our chicks this spring But they were labeled as black Marans........ But everything I’ve read says there’s no such thing as a black Maran, Only black French Marans and Black copper Marans. But these two pullets look nothing like either So I am wondering if you Maran Experts could hopefully identify this breed? Thanks in advance!

Right now they are 5 months if that helps anything. Sorry for the bad Pictures they are kind of skidish.

The chicken in the first picture on the left looks a lot like our golden comet pullet.

I was thinking the same thing! The other one looks like a Cuckoo Maran.

Red Sex Link, ISA brown, Golden Comet, or RIR on the left, cuckoo maran on the right.

I agree with others, Cuckoo Marans

Thank you for all the replies, at least now I know I have Cuckoo Marans.
