Barred Rock???

I wish she would lay one!! Two of mine (Gold Star and EE) just started last week, they are all now between 7.5 and 8 months old. The last pic I posted was just last week, she seems so young looking yet.
Thanks for all the responses.
 
Sadly most hatcheries will cross Barred Rocks, Cuckoo Marans, and Dominiques.
If they have a Rose Comb they call them a Dominiques, if they have a Single Comb there either a Barred Rocks or a Cuckoo Marans depending on leg color at birth.

I think that's what happened to me... ordered a dominique from MPC--- got a very friendly chick who has yellow legs with dark splash, single comb,,, and mottled barring... I am pretty sure it's a pullet, only time will tell

wood&feathers :

Straight comb and pink/gray legs = Cuckoo Marans

Sounds like the hatcheries get them mixed together? The BR would have yellow beak and legs + straight comb, I think the dominique would have a rose comb + yellow legs?

I think so too.​

Probably from mixing Marans in for egg color. White legs are dominant genes. Hatcheries are such cheaters:p
