Barred rock gender..I'm stumped

Pics
can we see a pic of her now? I'm curious to see what she looks like.
Sure, yeah I was so for sure she was a barred rock, but she does have a dark gray wash on her legs, still not sure if she is a cuckoo marans.
So, if you can give me clarification that she us a cuckoo matand that would be great.

I have 5 Cuckoo Marans pullets that I got from Meyer Hatchery here in Ohio, and none of them have feathered shanks. They look just like yours. Edited to add photo. Note that the black pullet in the doorway is a FBCM with feathered shanks

I'm not so sure, how old are your pullets?
Cause yours dies look like my Barredy long legs chick, but her design I feel is more barred than yours being darkened out by the black being more distinct as a cuckoo maran.
 
Mine are 8 weeks old today. The cuckoo pattern varies from bird to bird, so mine aren't all the same, even though they look like they are. The lighting is low in the photo because I took it in late afternoon. Three of these pullets have a brighter white than the others. Try not to over think it. They are chicks, they are growing and changing all the time.
