Dominique, Barred Rock or what?

:welcome

Barred Rocks--yellow legs, straight comb
Dominique--yellow legs, rose comb
Cuckoo Marans--white legs (sometimes feathered legs) and straight comb.

Some old timey folks call any black and white bird a Dominique or "Dominekker".

I'm thinking Marans for these birds. it will be interesting to see what color eggs they lay. Dark brown always sets off an egg basket nicely :)


Another thing
Yellow shanks, single comb, brown eggs- BPR
Yellow shanks, single comb, WHITE eggs- Holland!

Any advice on breed? We were told it was a dominique but I'm just not sure. He does have yellow legs. He is about a year old and his comb isn't quite straight but doesn't really look like a rose.

From what I can see, it's a straight comb mixed with a pea comb. Definitely not a Dominique, there's no rose comb going on there. And it's a mixed breed bird, he only has one barring gene.
