Maran or Cochin

[Pumperkinz]

Picked up this sweet lady today. Picked her out of the “color assortment” pullet bin. Thought for sure she was a maran but now I’m not 100% and maybe she’s a Cochin? Can’t find any definitive telltale sign, which is which. What do you think?

This does look a little like my blue copper marans I have. Though the white colored legs throw me as most hatcheries have the grey legs bred in heavy now. It'll be interesting to see how this one grows up!

Just an update thinking I have a Maran on my hands!

She looks very cute! Yes I would agree she's got some of the characteristics of the BCM (Black Copper Marans). Would love to see when she gets to be 12 weeks+.
