These look like the same chick? I only see one then.
I'm going with australorp. I would expect to see feathered legs on the BCM, though I know not all do. If the parents did, then this chick should to.😊
 
If there was any coppery or brown colored chick fuzz, or a lot of gray, that would make me think bcm. The white face has me leaning toward australorp.

Also, did your other bcms have pink/white legs or slate? If pink/white, that's another point in the australorp category.

The only problem with that is that all marans are supposed to have pink/white legs as well.

Actually, bcms usually have pink/white legs, but some bloodlines have slate.

Black australorps should ALWAYS have black/slate legs with pink/white feet as chicks. So this chick has australorp legs...unless the bloodline of bcms the OP used ALSO had legs like that. :)
