Cuckoo Maran cross with Barred Rocks

[BrennaM]

Cuckoo marans have white feet, off colored legs would be because they're hatchery quality unfortunately. Any cross between the two breeds would just be another barred bird that lays brown to darker brown eggs. But they would have hybrid vigor and could be used for a nice dual purpose cross.

IF they are Barred Rocks, they'll lay brown eggs (like those found in most grocery stores). If Marans, they'll lay darker brown eggs. If the marans roo x BR hens, any hatched pullets will lay darker eggs than BR but not as dark as Marans.
