Cuckoo maran or barred rock ?

Is this a barred rock or cuckoo maran?

Never seen a BR with such pink legs and feet, or such tight lacing in the pattern I'd lean towards Maran.

Looks like a cuckoo Marans to me.

White skin so a Cuckoo Marans.

He's a beauty.

Thank you all so much…. My husband and I were debating which he was. I love it when he’s wrong

Where did he come from?

Welcome to BYC!

We bought him at tractor supply as a chick along with 5 others that were supposed to be sexed(all female) and barred rock….
But when I saw a barred rock rooster at the farmers market Saturday for sale it didn’t look like him, so then I did some research and thought he may be a maran.
Regardless, he’s the sweetest rooster and we love him.

It is a Cuckoo Marans. Even if there is only one, there is always an s at the end, by the way. They were developed in the port town of Marans, so the s doesn't have anything to do with a plurality. Additionally, he's clean-legged, so instead of following the French standard of heaving feathered legs, he follows the UK one with clean legs. When they were first imported to the US we bred both indiscriminately, and it wasn't until many years later the APA decided to accept the French standard.

Omg that was supposed to say HE. I can't stop laughing.
