Black copper maran or black australorp?

I can get you a pic of my adult olive egger if you want a reference of what she'll possibly look like as an adult if you want.

I'm sure mine are going to look similar to now, just bigger. I was told they were mixed with BCM.

Never seen a bcm myself in person so I couldn't agree or disagree to that.

I read English Marans have featherless legs unlike French Marans I have what we’re supposed to be Blue Copper Marans and one has red comb at 7 weeks and I am really concerned

Nope. These are BA's. No BCM's have clean legs unless they're notMarans hatcheries

Nope. These are BA's. No BCM's have clean legs unless they're not BCM's.

Bred to the French Standard have foot feathering.
Bred to the English Standard Marans legs are featherless.
BA have solid black eyes yours don't.
Some people will cross a BCM Rooster x a English Standard Cuckoo Marans for sex-link chicks.
They will keep the solid pullets with foot feathering to breed back to their BCM Roosters.
This is done to create pure Black Marans.
You probably got the culls/ rejects ( no foot feathering)
Time will tell when they lay, my BA lay a light tinted to light brow.
My BBS Marans lay between a 4-6 on the egg color card. Still working on SOP & Egg color.
I use to have 2 English Cuckoo Marans hens bought from Cackle Hatchery, they laid a very light brown egg.
Crossed them x my BBS Roosters and hatched Blue chicks with dots on head telling me they all were Cockerels.
I raised them up and eventually gave them away couldn't find a project to use them in.

I have one black Australorp hen that had a white feather on the tip of each wing. Every cross I've hatched from her is ether solid black or a little white around the face with a white feather on each wing. This one is a little different with more white on the face and all of the flight feathers are white.
