What type of marans? Marans breeding question.

[Berry8]

The chicken in the first picture was sold to me as a Rhode Island Red. Is it really a RIR? The others are marans but what kind of marans? What would I get if I breed the marans ro with the hens?

RIR?

Marans Hen

Marans Hen

Marans Roo

The rooster in the first picture that is white with red in its wing is a Sex-link rooster.. Not a Rhode Island Red..

Not a Marans expert by any means but the 1st Marans hen looks like a poor quality blue copper or mix and the second is a poor quality black copper. Now the one that is a Rooster... looks like a mix. Color just isn't right.

The first roo is not an RIR, but a Sex Link rooster.

The rest are either A) not Marans or B) very poor quality Marans with serious crossbreeding in them.
