Black skin and legs, white feathers, little gal

[PileatedFarms]

Hi all!

We hatched out babies for the first time on the farm. The eggs came from a friend's farm who has a large mixed flock, so they are backyard chicks. One of the hebs is way smaller (50% at this point) than the others and has black skin and black legs. I thought silkie but she obviously doesn't have those traits (headdress or feathered feet). Any thoughts on who she is?

Dominant white parent (probably leghorn) and fibro parent (probably ayam cemani)

Like other people said before, your bird likely has a dominant white parent and a fibromelanistic parent. She could have Silkie or Ayam Cemani in her genetics. How many toes does she have? Silkies have five toes.

Do you at least know what roosters they have?

unfortunately no - they have around 200 chickens and a large handful of roosters

Not really sure sometimes sometimes chicks are just smaller, especially in mixes.

Okay good to know! Thanks again I appreciate it

She has 4 toes.

 

[PileatedFarms]

Does she by any chance have five toes on each foot?

Only 4!

Thanks Chikyboy! Any idea why she is so small compared to the others? She has been since hatching. Isn't getting bullied from food or anything
