Picked up a free Roo today, it needed re-homing

So your boys are not cochin or Dominique cross.
Dominique cross= rose comb
Cochin cross= feathered feet
They could be a Barred rock mix or a maran mix. They look more BR IMO.

I don't doubt the expertise of this site's posters, you've not steered me wrong. I'll get a better photo in the next day or so, and check the leg color very closely. There is no feathering on them, that's clear. I would note however - and I know its not visible in that terrible photo - that his fluff and hocks are uniformly grey, there's no discernable barring at all - unlike any picture I can find of any Black Sex Link, Barred Rock, Marans (which, honestly, seems sort of expensive for a possible TSC bird), or the (eliminated by comb) Dominique.

of course, our TSC uses Hoovers, and judging from my other 30+ birds, Hoover's flocks do not have crisp clean colors or patterns.

But this thing looks like someone glued a BR top to some grey/blue bottom...

and this is the son - by one of three birds. One was pretty clearly a black cochin, one may have been a blue cochin but very poorly marked, it was almost uniformly grey, more like a blue Australorp, and the third had too distinct a pattern to be the likely dame.

Doesn't scream Cochin at all to me.

It doesn’t does it? I would expect some other feathering at least from the Cochin, interesting.

That is a Black Sexlink roo.

i see pink legs, that would mean not a dominique barred rock or cochin. he also has no leg feathering. as black cat stated single combs are recessive so he couldnt be half dominique. i am thinking a cuckoo marans unless she knew he was a mix

 

[TheOddOneOut]

I was asking OP as (he?) has seen the bird in real life. The pic is blurry and I personally cannot tell if they're yellow or pink.

Oh. True.
I assumed yellow.

Mine are just weird. 4 typical rocks, 4 very light breasted to dark butted ‘rock like’ birds.

 

[MarkJr]

See what I mean?

Doesn't scream Cochin to me, either. and I'm thinking more likely Barred Rock than Dominique, based on the comb - but I've not pulled up the genetics chart yet to see how the combs might change in the offered cross.
