Black Copper Maran

Here are more pics during the daytime. Can anyone help me confirm what he/she is if it isn't a BCM?

Would anyone like to chime in?

It's not a black copper Marans, it's a cuckoo Marans. Same breed, different color variety.

Looks like a cockerel to me, and probably a Cuckoo Marans.

Cuckoo Marans

At this age and stage, almost certainly a roo.

Not all bad, it is Marans, which means darker eggs, but will not be as dark as BCM.

You can use him to get to Olive Eggs if you have a blue layer, or EE, but it won't be dark....and all the chicks will be cuckoo'd (stripey) from him.

But you did get your Marans.

Looks like a cockerel. I just went through the same weeks ago deciding. The pinkish comb says it all.

More than likely I think its gonna be a HE. The comb is really pink but no wattle yet.
