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

He's most likely a Black Sex-link cockerel. Or some other mixed breed.
 
Where did you get them from? Could they be a mix?
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
 
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
Is there anyway of telling what they’re mixed with?
 
Do you have a full-body picture? Those are definitely not Cuckoo Marans, with all those different colors.
Actually here, they’re not that good but I have a few
And them a few days old if it helps at all
