Hubby brought home 4 chicks. 1 white leghorn, 1 welsummer, and 2 Cuckoo marans. Are these both pullets or even Cuckoo marans?

I'd go with a couple (#1 female, #2 male)
Barred chicks can be sexed at day old by the dimension of the white spot on the head. Males will have a big spot, females have a smaller one.
I read that barred rocks can be also sexed by shank/beak colour, males have lighter shanks and beak, females have dark shanks and beak. I don't know if it's the same with Marans

That's what I think also. I sure hope it's a pullet. I have a couple of barndevelder "pullets" that are definitely a pullet and cockerel.
