Am I cuckoo?

[janiedoe]

I got a few chicks from Tractor Supply. I know the two in the middle of this pic are easter eggers and the one in front is an australorp. The one in the back was in a bin labeled "french marans" She does not have feathered legs. Is she a cuckoo marans?

Nope. She is most likely a Black Australorp.

cannot see the legs on the back one is that the one? she should have feather's
on the legs

 

[Geranium]

The one in back looks just like my black australorp chicks

 

[janiedoe]

No feathers on legs. I'm wondering if she is a cuckoo marans?

 

[janiedoe]

If the one in back is an australorp, is the one in front a marans? Maybe I'm mixed up about who came out of what bin? I bought 1 RIR, 4 easter eggers (labled ameraucanas ), 2 buff orps, 2 australorps, & 2 "french marans"

It does have barring on the wings. So it's either a Barred Rock, or a Marans. Sometimes with hatchery stock, the feathers on the legs come in later.
Also, your 'australorp' is a Gold Laced Wyandotte.

Wow. I bought two "australorps" and two "french marans" haha. Well, I really wanted a GLW. I'm not complaining. It is exciting to see what feed store chicks grow up to be.

If her legs are pink, you have a Cuckoo Marans. Yellow would equal Barred Rock. Most, but not all Marans, have feathered legs.

Also, as another poster pointed out, your Australorp is indeed a Golden Laced Wyandotte.

I think most hatchery Cuckoo Marans dont have feathered legs, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them label anything Marans as “French marans” at TSC, so I’m voting Cuckoo Marans. If you can post a photo of the bottom of their feet.
