Unsure what these little guys/gals are

[HobbyHoarder]

I wasn't with my partner when he picked these three up from tractor supply. He totally forgot to see what breed they were, just asked if they were pullets or straight run and went from there. I had to call them back and they said that day they were pretty sure they had black sexlinks, turkens and Blue Cuckoo Marans. The sexlinks and turkens are obvious which ones were them, but I'm having my doubts if these guys are blue cuckoo Marans. I've had those before and the previous batch I had weren't bright yellow little chicks like these ones were from day one, they were more of a dusty gray to black and got lighter as they aged.

Anyone have any guesses on what these 3 could be? Most recent pic is from today, but I also have the first picture I took of one of them when they were brought home. The flash makes them look a little more yellow than real life, they're almost white.

Could it be Amberlink https://hoovershatchery.com/amberlink? I'm seeing willow colored legs (the green tinting) so that might help narrow down breed if it's not the Amberlink.

Thats a possibility! I'll have to keep an eye on her coloring and see if she gets even more white as she ages or not, or if she still stays slightly blue, thank you!

Got some better lighting pictures today of two of them. Please excuse any poop on the first two pictures, that one likes to sleep directly under their two siblings who sleep on the perch and sometimes they get a "shower."

The third picture of the other one shows the coloration the other two have around the head better.

Judging from the green legs, they're probably some sort of colored egger. One also looks to be a cockerel

Thank you! I'll take a look at hoover's colored egger pages and see if that helps narrow it down!

Which one are you thinking looks like a cockerel? Pics 1 & 2 or picture 3? I ask because I've been suspecting that Poopbird (1 & 2) is a cockerel for a couple of weeks. This is not the best picture of his normal pose since he's all cowered down here. He normally does the I'm big and bad tall stance and is watching everything going on, but he did not care for the laundry room and kitchen adventures for the updated photos at all.

Pictures 1 and 2 are the cockerel.
