Barred Rock or Silver Cuckoo Maran?

[Mammahen71]

Oh crap, just got in my order of chicks that I am splitting with a friend, and I thought I would be able to pick out my 3 Silver Cuckoo Marans, but the Barred Plymoth Rock girls look to similar to the Cuckoo Marans!

Can anyone give me some identifing features of the two breeds? I don't want my friend taking my babies!

New momma needs help soon!

Barred rocks have yellow legs or yellow with black wash
Marans have white legs

Good luck

Argh, they look almost the same color as 2-3 day olds.... should I hold onto them a few more days to see if it changes?

feet bottoms of a marans should be pink, barred rocks are yellow on the feet bottoms

It should be night and day different in colors on the bottom of their feet.

Barred rocks will be bright yellow
Marans will be pink
