Unusually pretty Marans pullet or...

[texas_chick]

maybe not a pullet?
or maybe not a Marans?
All of my chicks are around 4-5 weeks old.
I have 3 Marans and 1 Barred Rock.
I picked the Marans based on coloring hoping for pullets and funny enough the darkest one with the best head spot -the one I thought would be a girl for sure is turning out to look quite different from the other two.
In fact I often confuse her with the Barred Rock.
Here's the one in question:

Her comb is actually much smaller than that of the other Marans and looks less like a single comb.

Since she has yellow legs I'd say you have another BR. Marans have white legs.

 

[texas_chick]

that would be great. i'd rather have another br than roo!
strange though because i picked her up from a breeder...

I was just going to say the same thing.

You guys are so clever!
I just looked at the other two and they do have white legs!

I know the breeder had a CM as the father for all the chicks hatched in that lot but she also did have a few Easter Eggers.
Perhaps Baby is a CM/EE cross? Still better than her being a roo!

She's my favorite most pet-able, sweet chicken.

if she is a sweety-pie, then she is a keeper no matter what she is, in my opinion! Enjoy her.
