Does any hatchery produce a Blue French Copper Marans?

So mystery chick is almost all grown up. I've posted photos of her before and we suspected an olive egger from either hoover hatchery or Murray McMurray. She came out of a mystery fancy breed bin.

She is blue with a copper neck and feathered legs. She looks like the photos of a blue copper Marans.

I'll get current photos tomorrow but I'm curious if any hatchery even has Blue Copper Marans. I haven't seen any advertised when I check out various hatcheries. Thoughts? Maybe we won't know until she lays an egg...gotta get their nest boxes set up soon. They're 16 weeks now.

Looks like a blue copper Marans to me, but you will know for sure when she lays. Dark brown eggs mean Marans, olive eggs mean olive egger.

I figure I have at least four more weeks before anybody lays an egg but they woke me up this morning singing their little hearts out so maybe I'll get lucky and get some that want to lay at 18 weeks

You never know! Hope you get the breed you want.

Good news there, I don't have a preference. She just looks like a blue copper Marans to me but I'm guessing there are other birds with this coloring. I got them from a farm store that I think orders from Hoover and McMurray's but there is always a chance of who knows what they ordered from where. I wanted the mixed breed bin because I thought it would be fun to guess as it grew up but I am a bit surprised I still don't know.

Thanks. She's a bit people shy because my daughter chases her (her bird) but her name is JoJo and we'll love on her regardless of breed. Lol
