Hey all! I have ended up with 2 roosters. I am trying to determine which breed these are because I was going to give my grandparents one of the roosters, but they only want one if they are Barred Rocks. I have noticed they have a couple green looking saddle feathers and a couple brown side feathers.

Where you get them from? They have white skin, so can be Cucco Marans from hatchery. If not from hatchery, they are mixed breeds.

I got them from a local farm hatchery. He said they were Barred Rocks but I was starting to get skeptical. Thank you!
 
Basically cuckoo marans look very similar to barred rocks but usually with cuckoo marans the have white gray feet and their barring isn't as bold it's more blurred so. This is Luna she is my bestie. She just decided one day I was her person started following me around everywhere and talking to me in a high pitch cluck sound similar to the pitch a cat meows. Love her she's the sweetest and her eggs are so cute terracotta-ish speckled eggs

Black sexlink males. They're single barred, barred rock males are double barred (so the white bars on their feathers are much wider).
