I was told this is a black copper maran, I got her with another baby that turned out to be a rooster (I included the photo). She’s almost 11 months old and if she has laid an egg it was lighter with speckles, but could have been one of my other chickens. Otherwise I have never caught her laying an egg or seen any other signs she’s laying eggs (she doesn’t squat, doesn’t make noise, and doesn’t sit in the nesting box). Now I’m second guessing she’s a BCM or laying the lighter (dark but not chocolate) speckled eggs that are very inconsistent. Any insight would be helpful. All of my other chickens lay regularly with no issues.
