Is this a Mottled Java or Barred Rock Hen?

[WinstonPhoenix]

Hello! This little girl was sold to me as a mottled java, her sister looks just like a mottled java but she has different colored legs and feathers. Do you all have any idea what she could be? Perhaps a Barred Rock?


Thank You,
Kim

We have a chick, hatched from our Black Javas, that looks just like this. We have no other type of chicken for the hens to have bred to. So, I am thinking it is something in the genetics.

Looks like a Cuckoo Marans to me. Definitely not a Mottled Java.

Wait, Penelope is a Mottled Java? I've never heard of that breed but I'm new at this chicken thing, but Penelope looks just like my Ancona?

The two breeds are very similar.

The two breeds are very similar.

I just did a brief search on them(shoulda done that before I posted oops) and yeah, they do look pretty similar----
