Chick identification?

Thanks Overo Mare and LadiesandJane! Looking at pics online of CM chicks, I think you are right.
Update! The suspected CM chicks are becoming more and more barred, think we are right there. BUT, I'm pretty sure one of my two black chicks is not a copper maran as suspected. This white on the wingtip was the clue. Ideas?

White wing tips are normal in black breeds, could still definitely be a Black Copper Marans. They should molt out in next feather set

That’s kinda funny, I just asked the same question the other day about my BCM chick!

Such a cutie! I'm learning so much about how chicks change as they grow. My babies are 7 weeks old, really adding adult feathers fast. They look like awkward teenagers with bad haircuts!
 
Here are the chicks now (8-9 weeks old, getting soooo big!). Nice barred pattern developing on the CM, and look at that beautiful copper coming in on the BCM! Thanks again for all the help with ID a few weeks ago!
