Look like Barred Rocks to me.

K thanks so much...I just wish i was sure. My neighbor raises all kinds..we got out her book..she thinks marans..but was not sure. I just want to know cuz when i sell them i want to sell the right thing. Is there a for sure way to tell?

Glad you joined us!

Your roosters look like hatchery-quality Barred Rocks to me. The reason their legs are so light is because they are hatchery quality. Cuckoo Marans legs would be even whiter.

Thank u. Is there a way to tell by combs or lobes?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I keep Barred Rock hens. Those do look like Barred Rock roosters to me as well.

Enjoy these gorgeous boys and welcome to our flock!
