Barred what?

[BrianT]

They don't seem to be built right to be a barred rock. Their legs were white/gray but one of the bird's legs have yellowed out. What possible mix?

 

[Silkie-Feet]

how old are they? that may help.

Quote:
I've had them for roughly a month, but they could have been 8-10 weeks old when I got them. I can't be certain of their age. They haven't grown very fast, but are growing; much slower than barred rocks or a dominique mix that i thought was a barred rock. The tails have always been longish (see the pick of both birds, one in front of other) not barred rock type tail, not for their size annyways. They are greedy little birds that snake everyone else at treat time.

They look Cuckoo Marans to me

The last one has yellow legs, so she would be a Barred Rock, but the others have white legs. I've heard of hatcheries sending white legged BRs to folks, but I've never had any of those. Normally, I'd say Cuckoo Marans because of the white legs, but you may have both CMs and BRs in there or a cross of the two.

I have a Cuckoo Maran Roo and he looked like that at that age.
