I already know what she is, just want to know what you think she is. Is she really a silver cuckoo Marans?

Here's another picture of her with her sister:

Her bars are so pronounced and bold black instead of gray compared to her other two sisters, and her legs are yellow. She is definitely a Marans, just one of a different color.

i dont think she is a marans with those yellow legs. marans legs are white not yellow she looks more like a barred rock instead and those bars on her are more uniform than in a cockoo marans.

she must have been accidently thrown in with the marans. i am sure its a barred rock and not a marans

EDIT: she looks like my br...how old is she?

I think she's a barred rock, but her "sister" on the right in the second photo does look like a cuckoo marans.
 
We adopted a day old chick in July 2011. We were told she was a barred rock or barred rock x dorking. She does not have the bold stripes of a barred rock though...... more muted like a silver cuckoo maran, as mentioned above. I suppose I should get a picture up on here for all of your opinions, too!!
 
Thank you all for verifying that!!!!! I just knew it, she even acts different, very flighty. She was sold to me as a Silver Cuckoo Marans from My Pet Chicken. She did look just like the other two as a chick. Darn, they were expensive. That's ok, I just love this little hen and I'm not going to complain. Just had to verify my suspicions.
