What's that chicken breed?

We were recently given thirteen birds and I know there are a couple Easter eggers, Columbian Wynandottes and I think golden laced wynandottes, but still trying to figure out what these ones are. There's three of them.

Cuckoo Marans maybe. They don't have the right leg color to be Barred Rocks. Are they laying yet? If they lay darkish brown eggs, they could be. They generally won't lay as dark of an egg as a French Black Copper Marans, though.

I thought the same but look at this picture I found of barred rocks

Most likely Cuckoo Marans. I can see what’s probably a Wyandotte’s legs in one photo, and they’re much yellower than the Marans.

I agree with cuckoo marans. Does she have feathered legs? Some marans are clean legged but when I zoom in, I think I see tiny little feathers. She could be a Plymouth Barred Rock that's not bred to standard (typically have yellow legs) but the feather pattern appears more cuckoo than barred to me.

The hens with this coloring have been laying brown eggs, yes. Medium brown, but it is off season right now.

I'll have to look more closely and see! The girls move constantly so it's hard to get good in focus pictures of them sometimes.

I know I am very late to this thread, but if you haven’t found out yet I would guess a Plymouth Rock. I have cuckoo Marans and they are much dark than you hens. In Cuckoo Marans the Roos are very light in color (like barred rocks) but the hens are a darker grey with not much patterning. Hope this helps. (I have owned Plymouth and barred rocks, as well as Marans)

This hen is a cuckoo maran, and she is much darker than yours. If you zoom in you can see how light of speckling she has. Her mum was almost darker than her. The only reason yours may not be Plymouth rocks is taht they aren’t “shiny”.

Barred rocks have yellow legs. Your hens are cuckoo marans.
