Barred Rock Rooster or Hen

Here is a BPR Hen about the same age.

Look at that little Rooster' mottled markings and the shape of his eyes......... The yellow feet give him away as to what breed but does he have a Cuckoo Maran in the woodpile aways back?

Handsome guy. We will definitely have to find a good home. He is the smallest of the bunch and is controlling the 5 girls. They don't take too much but he doesn't back down either. Eventually grabbing a wing. Super nice to us so far. Does not mind being held either... so far...

I think the one you are seeing in the wood section is an Easter Egger and then a couple New Hampshire Red in the pictures. There is a Silver laced wyandotte as well. The BSL is not pictured.

When I said "in the woodpile aways back" I meant in his family genes. The BPR Rooster has long oval shaped eyes and a real mottled barring like no barring. Those are two features that the Cuckoo Maran Rooster has. The yellow feet on your little rooster depict that he is a BPR but I was wondering if he might have had a French Uncle back in the day.
