Is this a Black Copper Maran? I have never owned the breed. I got this gal from a friend. I thought she told me she was a BCM as a chick, but now I am unsure. She also cannot remember whether this is a BCM or a mix (she owns and sells a lot of chickens, so I understand the forgetfulness). She is 35 weeks old, her comb and wattles are very big and red. She looks like a layer. However, I have never seen her in a nest box, so I cannot figure out if she is laying. I go outside everyday around the time most of the gals lay, and she is never in there. I get mostly light light brown eggs and about 3 olive eggs. Is she an olive egger? Is she a mix of something else and lays light brown eggs? I do not know what BCM chickens are "supposed" to look like other than they are black with copper and have feathered feet. I don't know what kind of comb they are supposed to have. She doesn't look like a lot of BCM's I see online. They are more muted in colors and not as "bulky" as this gal here. Just confused and stumped. Please help.
