Is this a barred rock or cuckoo marans?

 

[junebuggena]

Is there a spot on the back of the head?

 

[cosorrells3540]

Yes but both barred rock and cuckoo marans have the spot.

I'm thinking it's a Maran. The beak and legs are really yellow, like a Rock.

 

[cosorrells3540]

Im hoping so i remember my barred rock chicks being much more yellow

Agreed; the legs look whitish to me as well so I'm thinking Cuckoo Marans. The formula for sexing the barred breeds is as follows:
Single comb + yellow legs = Barred Rock
Single comb + whitish legs = Cuckoo Marans
Rose comb + yellow legs = Dominique

I think it is a Marans
