Hello!
Got two extra chicks with my order. I’m thinking Plymouth barred rock. Anybody have an idea? Thanks

A picture of it's back and feet would be helpful. My first thought was Cuckoo Marans but it can be a little hard to tell at this point.
 
Unless they are French Cuckoo Marans, they will not have feathered legs.
2x. Most Cuckoo Marans you get from the Hatcheries are the clean legged variety.

On this chick, the reason why I'm saying Cuckoo Marans is because how the spot on its head looks. On the Barred Rock, the spot is often smaller and more contained to the top of their head. On the Cuckoo Marans, the spot can be bigger and run down its head like how it is with chick. Every chick can be different, but often it's that way.
