Is this a Cuckoo Marans chick?

[Lady Lionheart]

One of the ones that I got from local Big R here in Colorado. Long story short, nobody knows what it is. Wouldn't even tell me what hatchery they got them from. Attaching pics from a few days old to now. Guessing around 3 and a half weeks old.

Also lighter colored legs then my yellow legged baby

Thank you! I've been going insane trying to figure out what breed she is

At least I hope she's a she...

Looks like an Ancona. As a chick, it has the mottled coloring. Also, even laugh it has specks, (like Ancona) it doesn't appear to be Barring. (like a maran)

I agree, more specks than barring. Attached are photos of my Silver Cuckoo Maran

Yeah mine doesn't have what I would see as barring. Do Ancona have lighter legs? I can't seem to find pics of them. Just the day old chicks and they didn't look like mine did.

The traditional Ancona baby pics sometimes have a little more white on them, but it can be varied. Barred or black chicks do not have near as much white as your chick does.
I wouldn't be surprised if your chick is a cockerel, seeing the thicker, larger comb. If so, Ancona males don't have as much white, and are more muddled in color.

Looks like the legs can be sorta grey on the yellow and will get darker (I think). I googled Ancona Chick Images and under specifications they should have dark legs. I'm not really familiar with this breed, hope it helps.
