One Last Vote: Is this a Hen or Rooster....Barred Rock or Cuckoo Maran

[Creativedogma]

I posted this girl/guy about 3 weeks ago.... his or her adoptive home is ready for him/her & I just want to be sure before I give this chicken up (I love this little feller)!!!

Chicken is approx. 11 weeks old. I was told it was a Cuckoo Marans.

Thanks in advance for your help !!!!!!

P.S.

What about this Leghorn....girl or boy (also about 11 weeks old) (purple stuff on feathers is no pick lotion)

Both boys.

Looks like a cuckoo marans to me since it has white legs.

 

[xtremevermonter]

looks like a BR Roo!

My GUESS: Barred rock Roo, Leg pullet. Hope the eggsperts can help you though.

I am sticking with my original guess of barred rock roo and that leghorn looks roo-ish to me too. Can't wait to see what everyone else has to say.

 

[PotterWatch]

Just out of curiosity, what makes ya'll say it is a BR not a cuckoo marans? I wouldn't think BR since the legs aren't yellow.

 

[ArizonaNessa]

I don't know I just think the pattern looks more like BR.

 

[speckledhen]

Nope, folks, the white legs mean Cuckoo Marans OR a cross of BR and Cuckoo Marans. And it's a rooster, no doubt.

YAY I was half right

and I learned that cuckoo's have white legs!!!! I just love this site!
