Cuckoo marans. You can tells he's a cuckoo because of the spot on the back of her head. That indicates the cuckoo gene. In a barred rock, it would indicate the barring gene.

Not on top of the head like that, I bet... But you are correct, I bred FBCM for a while and they do get white bellies and wing tips.

That head spot.. I agree with the first poster, that it could likely be a FCM. First thought was clearly, cuckoo, barred, maybe penciled. Toe count, feathered leg.. help confirm..

My BCM had a little white on her head. She is purebred by the way. I agree that this chick has too much white
