Who is who -Barred Rock, Dominique, Cuckoo Maran?

[real_redhead]

I ordered several chicks from a hatchery and they were supposed to be marked, well they weren't so now I am trying to figure out who is who, I should have 2 barred rock one cuckoo marans and one dominique. I need to get rid of 1 of the barred rocks but I am not sure which ones are the barred rock. The lady at SS told me that picture 2 is the barred rock (same bird in pic 2 and 3)? Her comb isn't as flat as the others and is starting to raise more than the others. I think the first 2 pics have combs that are similar and the others.

I hope these pictures help. I can post more!!

I don't see any barred rocks. Barred rocks have single combs.

They all look dominique.

Those birds are all dominiques. Rocks and Marans both have straight combs.

Anyone ever order from chickensforbackyards.com?? This is where I got them from and they were supposed to be marked, I paid extra for that but they refunded the money since they were not marked. I did have another lady take 5 of the ones I ordered. I ordered 3 cuckoo marans, 2 barred rock and 2 dominiques (plus others who we could tell the breed). we tried to tell them apart when I got them and she took hers (1 dominique and 2 marans) we both had second thoughts on if she got the right ones. I had ordered extra to sell but had to keep them and let them grow out a bit so I could tell who was who. I have been afraid that they were all the same. I wanted the marans for the dark eggs. I liked the BR and Dom (even though they look very similar) and wanted one of each. I do have to get rid of at least 1 of that group but I wanted to figure our who was who so I didn't get rid of the marans. Not sure what to do!! That group is the friendliest. I live in the city and can only have 10 chickens, right now I have 15!! Chicken math!!! My husband says keep then all but I don't want to get caught and then have to get rid of them, it will be hard as it is as I have grown attached to them. But I did just verify that the FREE chick was a male SLW so I have put that pair on criagslist and on the VA forum on BYC and hopefully can find a home for them so I will be down to 13! Does my banty count, haha.

Thanks for all the help!!

Yep, you got all dominiques. That hatchery has some pretty poor order management.
