Think I have a few Roo's... What do you think? *Pic Heavy*

The first and second one do look like roos, but I'm pretty sure Diego is a pullet, especially by her dark color. Barred/Cuckoo females are dark like that, and males are lighter.

 

Deigos feathers look greyish to me but the feet tell another story see the dark lines on the feet and the comb is kind of small for one who is fully feathered like that my experience with barred rocks is the comb on the male comes in much faster than the females and will grow at a faster rate.
But this is just my experience with Barred rocks and I am fairly new but I have done a lot of research on them. A male will have skin color feet without the dark lines while the females front part of the feet by the time she is fully feathered will be almost black with the back a skin color......

 

Quote:Yep, and Barring is the same gene whether it's in Rocks or Marans, it dilutes the same way in either one, the only difference between the two is that barring comes on slow feathering breeds and the Cuckoo color is cause by rapid feathering that makse the barring blurred. I do agree that it looks like a Cuckoo Marans, and I still say its a pullet for the same reasons that StormyMoon mentioned and that the Cuckoo Marans roo I had and every other one I have seen, had a much lighter color and than what Diego has.

 

im pretty sure diego is a pullet looks a whole lot like my two anyways, and everyone says they are pullets so

 

ummmmm oreo is not a barred rock....the males tend to be more white with thin black barring....unfortunately, i have no idea what it is....

 

Quote:Are they supposed to be Barred Rocks ? Because oreo is far from it and Diego is Cuckoo, like a Cuckoo Marans, Oreo does appear to have a bit of barring in the breast as best I can tell from the pic, but it she is allmost solid black, or I say she because if it is a cuckoo bird and that dark, then it is a pullet, but we need a good comb pic too. Either way, they are not barred rocks, they dont have near the definition in the barring like the one that bturbo57 posted.
