Black Chick From Atwoods

[Let There Be Light]

Helloo, today I got a black chick from Atwoods. It is a little bigger than my Cuckoo Maran chick, has a white spot on it's head, single comb, and black/pinkish/yellow feet. Could it be a Jersey Giant?

Likely a Barred Rock assuming it keeps the yellowish legs. If they turn white or pink then it's a Cuckoo Marans!

Agreed.

It's barred, so no.

Most likely either a barred plymouth rock, or a cuckoo marans. Easiest way to tell is to look at leg color once it gets a bit older. If it's a plymouth rock, the legs will be yellow. If it's a cuckoo marans, the legs will be pink.

Awesome, thanks! I already have a Barred Rock hen and a Cuckoo Maran chick!

Thank you! I love my Barred Rock, Doodle, but I really hope it's another Maran!

Yep, time will tell. Looks more like a marans to me, personally. But if it ends up actually having yellow skin it's a BPR.

It's a BR!
