Are these really Cuckoo Marans?

[Desertvalleychickens]

I've had these so-called cuckoo marans chicks for 8 weeks now and I am starting to wonder if they are really cuckoo marans. They don't have their barring yet, is this normal?

They don't appear to be Cuckoo. Also, any wuth large combs are male.

Huh...
I may have to look into this. Any suggestions on what they could be?

I would say Black Australop or Jersey Giants. Cuckoo Marans get there barring right away as soon as the feathers come in

Ok.

I will post updates of these chicks throughout the weeks.

I’m thinking they’re all pullets for right now. Nothing screams cockerel.
