Cuckoo Maran or barred rock?

This is Cowboy and Basil, my supposedly cuckoo Marans… but then I saw brown on them and they have different colored feet, could the feet also depend on gender? The first four are Cowboy the others are squirmy little Basil

Where did you get them from? Could they be a mix?

Do you have a full-body picture? Those are definitely not Cuckoo Marans, with all those different colors.

They look like a mix. no pure cuckoo marans or barred rock has bronze feathering like that. If they are a mix, it's mostly cuckoo marans. an easy way to distinguish CMs and BRs are that barred rocks have yellow feet whereas cuckoo marans have pink feet

I agree

He's most likely a Black Sex-link cockerel. Or some other mixed breed.

I can get one once I go to let them out of the hen house

I got them from a friend who needed two of them rehabbed and the other two she just didn’t want, she got them from a friend who breeds chickens and sells the eggs, they’re supposed to be just cuckoo Marans but I’ve always felt like they weren’t

Is there anyway of telling what they’re mixed with?

Actually here, they’re not that good but I have a few
And them a few days old if it helps at all
