Hello!

My boyfriend and I got some chickens after a teacher in my school district hatched them in an incubator. Unfortunately, we are unsure what breeds we got. I’ve been struggling on figure out our three chickens below. I’m thinking the black ones are both Black Ameraucanas but the white one is a mystery. Would anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I posted a picture of the breeds the farmer hatches.

Thanks in advance!

The black ones are Easter eggers. Not sure on the white one, but probably a mixed breed. I could possibly be a white Orpington or white Marans, but those aren't too common.

First one for sure a Black Ameraucana.
Second possibly mixed?
Third is a Black Copper Maran.

I read Marans have feathered legs, but she doesn’t. I was thinking black copper maran too but then I read that and was confused

The last one has a beard, so it's not a Marans. Neither of the black ones has the right comb type for a purebred Ameraucana, but fit perfectly for Easter eggers.

The white one is the only mystery.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

The first black one looks like it has a rose comb and the second one is straight.. neither are Ameraucana as far as I can tell. Both might be eggers.. some "farmers" might call them AmerIcana.. while not breeding to any standard.

Marans is always said with an S at the end regardless if it's single or plural.. after the region they hail from in France, for informational purposes only. French standard of perfection requires feathered legs.. American standard does not last time I checked.

The last black bird is bearded.. ruling out Marans. And as previously stated the straight comb rules out true Ameraucana.

White skin is dominant to yellow and sex linked when black is crossed over it.. and the white bird looks mixed to me.

Congrats on your new feathered friends!

Both black bird are Easter Eggers. Is the white one a bantam? She looks like a mix, but possibly with Japanese in her.

She is as big as the first black chicken but not as full feathered
