Originally I posted pics about 3 weeks ago.... I thought BR but then maybe CM due to leg color being pinkish... Well now his legs seems to be getting yellower by the day.... Can you tell by his coloring now what he might be? I'm confused lol  Thank you all for the help thumbsup.gif.... He is about 5-6 weeks old.....

Looks like a hatchery quality BR cockerel to me.  Marans don't have yellow legs, rather they are white, I believe.

 

Single comb negates it being a Dom either.  They have a different comb.

100% Barred Rock cockerel.

Doms have rose combs and his yellow legs definitely rule out Marans. Theirs are pinkish white.

Yellow legs, straight comb, bars instead of uneven cuckoo pattern..... it's a male barred rock.

I had a BR pullet with pinkish legs in the beginning, so I thought she was a CM too. But like yours, her legs turned a lovely bright yellow.

No question. Barred Rock cockerel. It can take the legs a bit of time to really develop the yellow; they all start out with "pinky baby legs".
