Are these pullets cuckoo marans? Thats what lady i bought them from said they were but kinda think they kind of look like my barred rocks did as chicks. They are 3.5 weeks old.
Thank you. The current chicks I have are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans and their legs right now look whiter than the pictures I had from last round(barred rocks). So I’m thinking those 2 hens are barred rocks like we were told. I’ll compare the chicks at one month to the picture and see. Thanks...
I will look and get better picture of legs on Barred rocks. I thought they looked yellow. Hoping they are barred rocks as I just purchased 6 cuckoo Marans chicks this morning🤦♀️

So after more reading and learning I have figured out I titled by thread backwards. It should’ve been EE Rooster x Cuckoo Marans hen.
As I only have EE Roos
I currently have 2 Roosters. Younger Rooster(hatched 5-2-22) is offspring of my EE hen and EE roo. They were purchased in July 2021 as Ameraucanas from McMurrays. After much reading especially on this site they are not Ameracuanas but Easter Eggers. My original plan when I thought they were...
