Supposed to be SLW, and about 12/13 weeks old

Dominique mix, looks male. The two others on the fence are males too.

Nah this is a pullet I think.

This looks an awful lot like my cuckoo maran. I have one of those and a barred rock...to me when you look at them the maran looks more overall black, and the barred rocks/dominiques look more overall gray. But I’m a newbie this year too so I could be wrong. It isn’t a SLW though that’s for sure. I have one of those too and the patterns are totally different.

It has pink legs.

You have a point here, but maybe it is just taking a while for the legs to color up?

They are very similar to this chickens, but this chicken has a Rose Comb whereas the others you mentioned have single combs.

Naw...I have 2, they had very yellow legs from the start. Plus, the barring and stuff.

I know, I was so sad when I actually got her. A friend held onto her for me while I was out of town, so when I got home and looked at her I knew SLW she was not. Thanks for confirming!

Oh ok, I have only had 1 cuckoo maran, I just never like the barring pattern, for me it just looks to basic. The only reason I got the Cuckoo Maran was for the ggs.

One easy way you can tell a barred chicken I think is by looking for a white dot on the top of their head.

I looked back at all of my pictures of her, and don't see any white spot on her head from the beginning. Here is a picture of her from the front
