Miss Pasty the chicken in question

Barred Rock I think Jennifer but maybe Clarissa anyway not important!

Please don't let my intense longing for this chicken to be a Cuckoo Marans sway your opinion!  Here is the back story for anyone interested in my chicken drama.    I had ordered 6 chicks: 1 Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 Buff Orptington, 2 Easter eggers, 1 Golden Campine, and 1 Welsummer.  The night that they were going to ship I got an email from the hatchery around 9:14 PM that not enough Welsummer chick's had hatched.  (Now when I ordered several months before I had clicked the box "accept no hatch day substitutions").  I immediately emailed back that I would, indeed, not only accept hatch day substitutions, I would, in fact, accept any number or type of chicken they would send me.  I then called and left a message on their phone (after hours) detailing again my wishes.  Thankfully, a few minutes later I received an email from them thanking me for my "prompt response" and letting me know they had also gotten my voice mail.  I guess they are used to "hatch day crazies" like me.  Two days after the email,  my sweet chicks finally arrived after a long agonizing wait and a perilous journey.  My peeping package contained seven chicks, some bedding material, a heating pack, and a packing slip.  On the packing slip only 6 of the chicks were accounted for.  1 buff orp, 1 campine, 2 barred rocks, and 2 easter eggers.  The seventh chicken was not mentioned on the slip but looked a lot like the barred rocks...so I've always assumed we had three.  The third barred rock was always a little smaller, slower to feather and just looked a little different.  We've always wondered if maybe "she" was a rooster.  But last night it dawned on me, "what if she's a different kind of chicken?"  What I came up with is that she is a Cuckoo Marans.  She is black and white but the barring is definitely not as crisp as the other two Rocks .  Overall, her plumage is more black esp. in near her tail.  Her neck is longer and her tail feathers are definitely a different shape (hers swoops up and theirs does not go up at all really).  Her legs are a different color (hers are flesh colored while the rocks are yellow).  She also is the noisiest chicken.  She screams a lot (I have no idea if Marans are noisier or not).  I have tried to take pictures and I would love to hear anyone's opinion .  I also posted a pic of one of my Barred Rocks for comparison.
