Not a great picture and he just hatched this morning and hasn't completely fluffed up - backstory is he's a mystery egg and can basically be anything.., but is supposed to be a recognizable breed ( that includes anything from Rhode Island Reds to silkies to olive eggers (so some mixes do count and 'accidents' happen I assume anywhere so guess away..,so everything that developed hatched and this one came from a light brown medium sized egg) he or she has a black beak and is all black and pink skin and black feet and whitish toes, very striking looking bird to wake up to in the hatcher !
 
He's with 3 marans & I think 3 'Easter eggers- though 2 could be something else & the third is an 'olive egger ' he doesn't have feather legs and he only has 4 toes but his beak and comb are black and he better be a pullet - my only guess is Sumatra
 
Can you tell what type of comb he has? I'm thinking Sumatra, but a lot of black breeds look similar, so I could be wrong.

Here's another picture, I think he will be fluffier tomorrow, he got kinda gross in the hatcher, he was second to last to hatch in a 36 hour hatch and its oddly hard to clean a hatchling... His head is only just starting to 'fluff' but you can kinda see a little better, I think it looks like a straight comb but its so tiny. And I'm second guessing some of the other birds too lol so this'll be fun! Sumatra chicks are usually lighter I thought and they have a rose comb don't they?
