Is this a blue copper Marans?

[BradD20]

I hatched this chick from eggs off eBay. They were BBS Marans. I did get two blacks, two splash, and this one. It does have feathered feet, but seems to have mostly black comb and skin. Is this a blue Marans? Or possibly a cemani Marans cross?

It is not a blue marans. Looks like a mix, your guess could be right, or possibly a silky mix.

Looks like a mix to me.

What does the skin colour looks like on the body?

It could be. Having dark combs/wattle/facial skin can happen in any dark colored chicken. It doesn't automatically mean it is a cross. But with Ebay eggs it well could be a mix. Wait and see how it develops.

I had a blue marans (that I originally thought was a blue australorp until I saw small feathers on her feet and got confirmation from the breeder).

She had a black comb when she was younger but when she matured, it turned red.

I agree it looks like a mix.

I haven't personally experienced it but there's a thread here about some Marans with dark combs and face and they were calling them 'Gypsy face'.

Zooming in on the first pic, are my eyes seeing all toes are completely covered in feathers?
