Blue Copper Marans is a rooster and so is your Easter Egger... both have typical cockerel coloring plus saddle and sickle feathers...

thank you for the reply. I was really holding out for the bcm to be a hen. the other one is so much more of a rooster. and no tail feathers yet...I am new to this.

Sorry for that... and everyone starts somewhere sometime...

In the Black or Blue Copper Marans, hens should only have copper in their necks, and nowhere near as much as the roosters have all the way through the head... only the roosters should show copper in the shoulders and cape (in front of tail area)... hope this helps...
