I bought it at runnings they go through hoovers hatchery I believe

I bought it at runnings they go through hoovers hatchery I believeWhich hatchery did it come from? That can help narrow down the options.
I see black feathers, a rose comb, and clean feet (not feathered feet).
With those traits, it could be a Black Wyandotte or a Black Hamburg. Black chicks can also come from Blue parents, so a hatchery might sell "Blue Wyandottes" or "Blue Hamburgs" and actually ship some black chicks too.
I feel like there should be one or two other possible breeds with those traits, but I can't think of them right now.
It seems they all have black on their feet this one doesn'tMaybe a Black Minorca:

The listing says they have both single comb and rose comb birds of this breed.
I suppose that is another possibility for the comb type (v-comb on crevecoeur.)Crevecoeur?
I am pretty sure OP has a baby chicken, not a baby pheasant.Melanistic Mutant Pheasant?

I don't see a crest, at least so far.
And the foot color would have the same problem as the Minorca: the chicks in the photos show some black on the shanks and feet, and the adults in the photos have slate legs with some black on them, but OP's chick is not showing thost things (at least so far.)

I'm going with chippy on this one.Melanistic Mutant Pheasant?
