Hello! I ordered chicks from Hoovers about 8 weeks ago and these were sent instead of Blue copper marans. Just wondering if anyone knows what breed they are? Thank you!

I think the first one is splash, and the second splash wheaten, update in a couple weeks please. Lovely looking birds ❤️ eta: just zoomed in and your wheaten colored bird has slate legs? Is this correct? I also think the other one is a cockerel.

I am not sure what slate legs are, sorry! Does this picture help out anymore? I’ve only ever had backyard egg layers and I hope its a pullet, but I know there’s always a chance to get a cockerel!

I looked on their website and non of their colored egg layers mention feathered legs, but you never know. I suppose the first one could be a blue copper marans (that's the one I think it's a cockerel) and the other just a regular wheaten Marans who's coloring hasn't come in properly yet 🤔 Definitely update pics in a week or 2, I'm quite curious to see how these 2 come along.

Slate = Grey

With Marans we're looking for slate colored legs/pinkish feet with leg feathering down the outside of legs and outer most toe.
 
The first looks like a Splash Marans. Looks a lot like two I've got did when they were 8 weeks.

Not sure on the second one.
