If I cross a Blue Marans with a BCM, what do I....

What will I get if I cross the two. I know Marans, but does anyone know what the chicks will hatch out looking like?

When you say Blue ,just what are you talking about? Do you know the exact genotype of the birds in question? A Blue Copper Marans or a solid Blue Marans.
As these birds have different genotypes you will get different results.
If a Blue Copper Marans is mated to a Black Copper Marans you will get approx 50% each Blue Copper Marans & Black Copper Marans .
If a solid Blue is mated to a Black Copper Marans you will get 50% each solid Blue and solid Black. They may however have the odd red or silver feather showing, the colour depends on whether the father is silver,gold or split silver/gold based.

They are solid blue with no copper in them.
