Is this a barred Plymouth Rock

I am not so sure after seeing a couple of pictures about this breed

Looks more like a Cuckoo Marans to me, with those whiteish legs.

X2. Does she have any feathers on her legs/feet? If she is a hatchery bird, or a heavy layer, she may be a Barred Rock even with those pale legs.

Hatchery Barred Rock hen for comparison:

No she doesn't have feathers on her feet so yes she is a barred rock?

I agree with BantamLover21. She is a Cuckoo Marans. She follows the English standard (instead of the French standard) for Marans which calls for bare legs. Even hatchery quality Barred Rocks will have yellow legs (even if they are not clean yellow, there should still be yellow in the legs).

What color eggs does she lay? Are they a darker brown?

How old is she? If she is a year or older and a good layer she could be a Barred Plymouth Rock that's legs have faded from being a good layer. Also what color are her eggs? If she is a Silver Cuckoo Marans her eggs should be darker than average eggs but not super dark like a Black Copper Marans so don't compare her eggs to those. In the pictures she reminds me of a older Barred Plymouth Rock.

She lays almost every day and she is a year and a quarter old so....

Yep that egg is way too light to be from a Silver Cuckoo Marans, and since she is such a good layer her legs have faded to a pink-white color, so yes, she is a Barred Plymouth Rock.
