Not a Cuckoo Marans- but what is it?

[RanchRichey]

This chick was sold to us as a Cuckoo Marans, pretty apparent that is not the case. Any ideas?

About 5-6 weeks old

Looks like a mixed breed. What color are those legs?

Than it is mixed more than likely. Comb makes me think Wyandotte.

Do you know what breeds they had?? Did they have a mixed flock or separate breeding pens for different breeds?

Could be out of a blue or black Marans, they have feathered legs, crossed with a Wyandotte, that's my guess.

He mostly specializes in Marans, and does breed for show, so I suspect he keeps things rather separate. He had FBCM, Blue Marans, Cuckoo Marans and a few other breeds, I can't remember, but Wyandotte may have been one.
