Bared Rock & French Cuckoo Marans

[newcitychickmama]

So I got out of the straight runs at tractor supply this past Saturday, they are just at 1 week old now. I can't tell which are the 3 barred rocks vs 3 marans.. first time chick mama here. I just add the 2 gold comets today.

can anyone tell me the difference?

According to this thread in a post from Chris09:

Barred Rocks = Leg are Yellow (Single Comb and the skin color is Yellow)
Cuckoo Marans = Legs are White (Single Comb and the skin color is White)
Dominiques = Legs are Yellow (Rose Comb and the skin color is Yellow)

The Barred Rocks have the light spot on their head! Saundralea

Both Barred Rocks and Cuckoo Marans can have spots on their heads.

Pics of both types of chicks can be seen here:

The chicks look the same to me

These are cuckoo marans chicks (from the link above)

These are barred rock chicks.

They do look alike!!! I think the ones with black wing feathers are the marans... but thats just my guess.

In my experience marans will have more white in breast and white wingtips as they grow in their wing feathers

may be hard to see but you see that little white on the wing tip? Black copper marans
