If it has yellow skin, I'd say it is a Cochin. Not a mix though, Sheryl doesn't make mistakes like that...
I was going to say to check it's foot color. Cochins have yellow, or should be yellow. I have pics of my 7 wk old blue/black cochins, from Sheryl's birds. I will upload in a bit. You should be able to tell if it is a cochin, they look like little fluffy bowling balls already. Marans have a much leaner, tighter plumage and body shape.
OK, here are pics of my black cochins at about the same age:
The one on the left, ignore Mr. Serama's stink eye!
The Cochins will also have very very heavily feathered legs and feet to the middle toe. The Marans aren't nearly as heavily feathered.
