Aren’t black copper Maran hens supposed to be black? Lol

I’m just confused. This is my 9 week old I thought was a hen and also some pictures of the same age cockerel to compare. Is she a he also? I though bcm hens were all black? Or are they not bcm? They were from Meyers adoption chicks and I originally thought they were jersey giants.

Maybe a Black Star? Probably not though.

Meyers doesn’t sell them so I ruled that out

Okay.

BCM female. Yes, they have copper in neck feathers. Here are some we had around 6-7 weeks old. 2 males, 2 females. The one in far right middle is a “mossy” female -a bit too much color in the neck area.
