Not a barred rock?

[aimboden]

Ideas on breed? She is 3 weeks old and was sold as a Barred Rock but now that her feathers are coming in I am doubtful. Also she has gray legs and pink paws. No white on her feathers, just black with brown tips. Bought at Rural King from a bin marked barred rock. There were no other breeds at the store other than Amber Link and Rudd Ranger which are nothing similar. The closest pics I’ve found are types of Marans. She’s very sweet, I’m just curious!

Black sex link?

It has no barring so it should have been able to tell that she wasn’t barred rock since day 1 as a chick.
(Would have had a white dot on the head)

Large comb for that young

That or Black Copper Maran/French Black Copper Maran. You might be able to tell if its a girl and it lays a certain color egg. BSL lay brown eggs, the Marans lay very dark brown or chocolaty colored eggs.

I did see a little red in the wings but BSL makes are barred with white.

Looks like possible French black copper marans
