I purchased some eggs from a nearby breeder, two of the chicks I hatched are easily identifiable as blue copper maran and blue laced red wyandotte but I cannot find any images online of what this chick is going to be. It hatched from a dark maran egg but it has the same pattern on its wings as my blue laced red wyandotte, it seems to have too many markings to be a blue splash maran from what I can tell. And it has weirdly long neck fluff.

Can you tell what kind of comb the chick has? I can't see it clearly in the photo.

A Marans should have a single comb. Any other comb type would prove that the chick is a mix of some sort. Single comb does not prove anything either way.

I agree the color of the chick does not look right for a Black Copper Marans (or Blue Copper or Splash Copper). Did the breeder have any Wheaten Marans? The chick might be the right color for that.
