This bird is supposed to be a barred rock pullet, but looks to be at least part something else.

And here you can see her yellow legs and grey butt....

This is 12-13 weeks. Do I have the least barred rock ever, or something else? Thanks all.

She is beautiful. She looks like a blue cuckoo marans, but since her legs are yellow, I'm betting on a sapphire gem. (Not that leg color, comb, or anything else is a guarantee with hatcheries.)
Be sure and update the thread when she starts laying.

Sapphire Gems have black legs and feet. I have seven SG hens. I do think she’s a cross. I will bet she lays brown eggs - anything from cream tint with purple speckles to medium brown with pink bloom, like my girls. 😂
 
Mystery partially solved. Gotta be some kinda cross. She's turned into a prolific layer of light green/blue eggs (seen here with a brown egg for color). She gets along well with the other birds, has above average intelligence, takes direction well, has a good balance of independence and interest in us, and is generally a good addition to the flock.
