I ordered 5 female Black Star chicks from a hatchery and I received 6 chicks. They are 1 week old. The 6th chick isnt a Black Star due to the yellow fluff. I suspected that it might be a Black Australorp chick but now I'm not sure due to the prevalent yellow fluff.
I know Black Australorps are black in color, I've owned them. But I dont remember the yellow being prominent as in this case. Of course the chick might turn out to be a cockerel, hatcheries are known to add "extra" chicks.
