What kind of Marans is this?

[urbanfarmqueen]

Ordered from MPC. I selected one sexed pullet from the Rare Marans collection. Now i would like to know what I got. She is 2.5 weeks old now. I am thinking Golden...Any ideas?

Looks like a barred rock to me... maybe a partridge. Does not look marans to me.

Okay, I'm not familiar with Marans at all, but I'm thinking it looks kinda like a barred chick, wouldn't that same look mean a cuckoo?

I won't swear my life on it, so I agree it's not an absolute certainty. But from it's stance, huge thick legs, and slow-growing tail, I'd be shocked if this little one turned into a pullet.

Featherless legs too, so if it is a pullet don't count on very dark eggs.

It looks like some of the pictures of the "golden cuckoo" variety they offer.
