I hatched this egg and I have no idea what breed it is and no way to find out

Can anyone tell? I know it is 3 weeks old today!
I thought it was a Barred Rock but I'm not sure, should it have stripes by now????and as you can see it has a yellow spot on the top of it's head if that means anything

One of my family members got a dozen free range eggs for a tip and our Muscovy duck was broody so we let her hatch it.The carton had brown,blue,and tan eggs in it but we have no way of knowing were they came from

Well, she could be a Barred Rock, or a Barred Holland, Cuckoo Marans is unlikely as her feet are yellow and Marans have pink feet/legs. Dominiques have rose combs so she's not a Dom.

If it's a Black Sexlink it's a cockerel. Females don't have white spots on their heads.

My guess would be Barred Rock or a Black Sexlink (if this one then it'd be a rooster).
Yes, barred Rocks start out that way, they will eventually develope the barring as they grow.
