Identification help please

[smudger28]

Hi Guys

I hatched a mixed bag of eggs and I'm not sure what they are. Please can someone identify them via their colour markings? :roll:

Thank you!

The cuckoo colored birds looks like Marans to me,but it alsa be something difrent-the lightly colored legs are wrong for Marans,so it may be some Marans based hybrid.Not a clue of others.When they start to lay you will find out if they Marans as they tend to do dark brown eggs.

Thanks

I was swaying towards Marans but I couldn't be sure!

Yes I agree with Tyg, either Marans or marans based birds, and I think I spotted a lavender araucana in there too?

Hi Foxy

I have two of the Lavader's (I had 6 but 1 died and 3 got taken by rats) :-( I did however get my own back on the rats all 9 of them.....

I'm sure I have some Welsh Summers as well.

I'm thinking I have 3 Maran pullets (black with white flecks) and 1 Maran cock (white with black flecks)

Marans cockrels are much ligter than hens so not sure what you have as the picture not so good to compare them.
