Are these Dominiques or Barred Rocks or ... ? Newbie wondering

[birdly]

I noticed that these three chickens are available for adoption at Seattle Animal Control, and wondered what they are. At first I thought Dominiques, but on closer look at the combs, I thought maybe Barred Rocks.

That tail also has me puzzled, too. Are these definitely hens?

Thanks!

They look like young barred rock roos to me.

im thinking they are cuckoo marans notice the barring pattern isnt even like it should be, then you have the white legs, and on the 2nd bird you can a few feathers on the legs im leaning towards marans now gender would depend on age.if they are about 5 months i would lean towards pullets if younger than cockerels

It's a Cuckoo Marans pair of roos. Notice the white legs, the cuckoo pattern rather than barring, and the feathers on their legs.

 

[flewdacoop]

yup i see it now that you pointed it out

 

[Fred's Hens]

Not Doms, as they are single combed. Not good Barred Rocks, if they are, as the barring is quite poor. Likely a mix or perhaps a "blend"? lol
Sexing is risky as no one likely knows their age.
