Barred Rock

Well I was told it was a Barred Rock at the store I got it from and I also got a Maran that was in a separate container
What you are describing would be a Cuckoo Marans, or an Olive Egger if she lays olive eggs and has a tiny crest (though I did not see you mention this trait, so I assume she does not have a crest, and of course at this age you would not be getting eggs from her yet). Feed stores, especially Tractor Supply, incorrectly place their chicks constantly, switching breeds up and even species because of the common lack of knowledge in employees. I would not be surprised that your chick was not the breed she was labeled to be. Chicks sometimes fly out of the bins themselves and land in another. When there is not any room for extra chicks, the employees will stick them in a random bin of their choosing.
 
Thank you! Yuh I think a mix up. Do you have any pictures of your Maran s?
Why yes, I do... 🙂
All Black Copper but looking to get some Black Silvers this year at some point.
9 girls, 2 boys (1 is in my other mixed flock) and the 8 babies just hatched from 3 of my hens Easter Sunday so just turned a week old.
