How can I tell the difference between a barred rock, and a french maran, I think that the other is a domonique?
I think that my pullet is a french maran but don't know for sure. I am trying to get her to stand still so I can take a picture of her. She is pretty big
 
Feathersite has some good pics of baby chicks for a lot of different breeds.... that's where I went to ID my first batch of shipped chicks when I wasn't sure which was which.
 
Dominiques have rose combs.

Marans will have less distinct barring, as they are "cuckoo" not barred.
 
Barred rocks have yellow legs and a pattern to their barring.

Cuckoo marans have pinkish/whitish legs (sometimes with a bit of a slate wash on the front if they are hatchery cuckoo marans) and a 'crazy' pattern to the barring.
