I have several versions of French Copper Marans. Too many roosters. I finally separated the almost white versions into my other coop and run, Then culled about 6 roos, at about 5 months. Got 2 more to go so I will end up white versions 3 hens and 1 Roo. i think they are called splash Marans.
I have 1 French Copper Maran roo and 4 hens.
I have 1 blue Maran roo and 3 hens.
I have another 4 roos that I cannot name.
They all came out of nearly the same color eggs. 47 eggs old to me as French Copper Marans. Go figure.
But they nearly all have the longest feathered legs I have ever seen. From the front you cannot see their feet.
They have started nesting in the nesting box but have yet to lay eggs. I will post again when they do.
As to the Roosters and how they behave. This the first batch of chicks that I have raised from eggs that are so flighty that when I come around they almost all run to the back of the coop. The roos define the word "Chicken". They give me a welcoming chirp when I get into the backyard then proceed to ignore me as long as I am about the coops. No I idea why. Although there are multiple roos for each hen, only a couple have asserted themselves to start taking care of their hens. And amazingly they tend to protect their own breeds. Wish yours were so easy. Good luck.

Finally got my first eggs today. 3 of them, no less. Middle egg is from the dark Maran coop. The outside eggs came from my near white Splash Marans.

Why do you think they have to sing their egg song? I believe the words to that song run along the lines of "Can you believe I laid something that HUGE!" I laugh every time my hens lay and sing. It is hilarious.

I'm with you on that! The egg songs crack me up. I love to hear them. I always imagine them singing "Look at what I've done" or when more than one sings I swear I hear "anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you".
