This is Mother Clucker and idk if she’s really a BCM because her eggs are light or medium brown and her patterns are off I bought three French Black Copper Marans and ended up with a normal BCM a blue maran and her (her feet are feathered btw)

From Tractor Supply, she's likely one of the Marans hybrids that are becoming more and more popular these days. I would guess a Midnight Majesty Marans, which is described as having browns show up throughout their plumage like your bird. The Midnight Majesty Marans are not pure Marans, despite the name, but a sexlinked hybrid with one Marans parent.
 
I agree with what @pipdzipdnreadytogo is stating. With Tractor Supply, who knows what she is mixed with!
I understand what you mean with your reply, but the op needs to also realize that Tractor Supply gets their chicks from Hatcheries.
There is no pure Marans that come from a Hatchery.
Only from well known Breeders.
