My first time broody hen hatched out two beautiful all black chicks this morning! These are not her eggs and are eggs I purchased from a local breeder who breeds mostly black copper marans and Ameraucanas but also does crosses of the two. She told me the eggs I purchased could be pure of either or a mix. These chicks hatched out of the dark brown speckled eggs in the picture of the eggs she sells. I suppose I am surprised that the chicks are completely black and just happen to match my broody Black Orpington. From what I’ve read they do not match the standards for a pure black copper maran, could these be olive eggers if they turn out to be pullets?
