When does copper show in copper Marans?

[fatcatx]

I have a few chicks that were sold as blue copper Marans. They are a few days shy of 5 weeks so they're almost feathered out. The heads still have some fluff but the feathers coming in all seem blue so far. Can anyone tell me when the reddish feathers make their appearance? I am beginning to wonder if they are just blues.

Mine started showing about 3 months in.

@WonkierZulu thx! I didn't realize I would need to be THAT patient.

Mine are 4 weeks and have several copper feathers. I didn’t even notice until just now lol
