Petunia the.... ???

[SophiaSussex]

In september i purchased assorted brown layer chicks to start my flock. I have been able to identify all of them except Petunia. At this point i kind of just grouped her in with my barred rocks, but she's just so different. She is much darker and doesn't have the distinctive black and white bars the others do. Her feathers are mostly black with a touch of white. She is also more stout than my rocks. Could she just be a rock crossed with something else?

Perhaps a Cuckoo Marans - it will be interesting to see if she lays a darker brown egg.

Thank you! I will pay special attention to her eggs once she starts laying!
