This is Cadbury, I got her in July as a BCM but she has yellow feet so I’m confused. After looking closely she is developing copper feathers but I’m still wondering if she’s is a Cochin based off the yellow feet. Thoughts?

Not a Cochin for sure, unless a very, very bad quality one. Cochins should not have distinct tail feathers like she does, their feet should be much more densely feathered, and they should be fluffier overall than this bird. With those yellow shanks, she's not a Black Copper Marans, either, or at least not a proper one.

Where did you get her?

Trustworthy local breeder
 
Then this would have to have been a mix-up of some kind. Can you send them a message to say the Marans you received isn't a Marans and ask them what else she might be?
No I was offered his number but I never actually took it. A few people are saying she’s just a poor quality one since she is developing Copper and had leg feathers
