Help Identify my Chicks

Thank you guys, I suspect these guys are pure but she does have other chickens and some barnyard so it's possible they are a cross.

So we have ruled out Cuckoo Marans? That means I have a pair of Barred Rocks!
 
In the foot picture the color is barred rock (not marans).
In well breed birds more precise and smaller dots are a good indicator of females, but in hatchery, and many peoples backyard, stock that isn't necessarily true. If they are crossed at all, that will also not be a good indicator.
I took a closer look at the young chick with the small dot, she has no comb at the back of her beak and the other had an almost noon existent yet bigger spine of a comb on it's nose,... And the wings, I almost guarantee that the one with small dot is female
