BR or CM? Boy or girl?

[nursesammy]

This is our 3 wk old chick. its a sweety. We've named it pepper. Just like to know what breed and color. I think maybe a BR. but then again the white doesnt seems quite uniformed enough. could it be a CM? Also not sure if we have a hen or a rooster on our hands? the combs really there but then again it has alot of tail feathers. and i read on here somewhere that BR or CM tend to just develop combs faster than other breeds no matter what the sex. Please help me! Last time i put a post of this one i got a lot of desputing answers. so i thought that now that its older maybe it would help. Has lots of feathering all over. especially down the back and chest.
this one you can see the dark legs

this one shows the tail feathers well

and this one shows the comb fairly well

thanks for the help

Barred Rocks have yellow legs- Cuckoo's not yellow. You have a cuckoo.

Barred Rocks can have a wash of black down the front of their yellow legs - both of mine do. CM have white legs, but again I think that when they are young they can have a wash.

The base color under the black wash on the leg, does it look yellow or white? That should tell you something.

A BR should have barring on each feather where a CM does not - it is more sporadic. If what you have there is a BR then I would say you have a girl, boys are lighter in color.

Cutie pie whichever!

I think it's a cuckoo marans. And I think you have a pullet.

Ok back of the legs have white showing threw. Toes however more of a pink. And the very very bottom of feet are more yellow. Lol idk? Whatcha think? A cross? Lol i brought it from a feed store under straight run rainbow layers.

So we're all in aggreement that its a pullet then?

Definitely looks like a Cuckoo Maran Pullet. Looks just like mine...

 

[nursesammy]

Thank you for ur help guys. Is there a link that for cuckoo marans somewhere? What exactly [other than the exact barring] is different between a BR And CM?
