You wanna hear something really funny........I think this hatch is 3 cockerels and 1 pullet.

They're all yours brotha!

eta: 1 Blue Copper that is from Gnarles and one of Bill's Blue Copper dtrs. (I think cockerel)
2 Black Coppers all from Gnarles' pen, pure Davis (I think both are cockerels)
1 Black Copper from Gnarles' pen, pure Davis (I think pullet)

Kinda jealous that you get to watch all 3 of these boys grow out. We might have to do some trading later on.

Thanks Pink, I'm going to grow them out a bit more. I will post pics closer towards spring of the three for more input from everyone. I must say, I really do LIKE the birchen coloration. One of my bantys has it and though he's a mutt AFAIK, its very striking. (he's going in the pot though)
I also love the blue coloration on any breed of critter (horse, dog, chicken, cat, duck, turkey..have a lavender blue slate hen), I'm smitten by the blue, blue copper and the birchen colorations on the Marans.

Pink, if you want to get rid of one of those cockerels, let me know. Since I have to replace my roo with his side sprig, I'm on the lookout for another nice roo! I'm a bit south of Salem, OR.
