Cuckoo Maran or Barred Rock pullet?

[wolfinator]

Sadly, I just had to put down this girl due to an injury but was never sure of her breed. I thought she was a Barred Rock but after looking at some Cuckoo Maran photos, I'm not sure. I just want to know so I put the right breed in my book and with photos of her.

This is when she was 4 months old.

This is her back in Nov. '18.

She did lay somewhat darker brown eggs but not real dark.
Thanks all for your input.

What color were her legs? Look pink which is generally a cuckoo marans if it's supposed to be a purebred.

I'm not seeing yellow legs, and the muted barring suggests Cuckoo Marans to me. This thread may also be helpful:

Condolences on your loss.

Thank you all, I had gotten her last April '18 at Rural King. I was told she was a Barred Rock at that time but I had my doubts. At least I can put correct breed in my books. I try to keep records of all my feathered and furry pets. I have now, 10 chicks of 4 different breeds (so far), 35 standard laying hens, 2 bantam hens who are both 4 years old (1 hasn't laid since last summer), and 6 roosters. Plus my Khaki Campbell drake and 2 duck hens. All but chicks share 1 coop. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

Here is a close up of her leg and feathers. She was 4 months at the time. I didn't have any good more recent photos showing her legs. She was said to be a Barred Rock by a Rural King employee.

Pretty Cuckoo Marans, likely, since her legs don't appear yellow.
