Just a quick update: they have started to feather out and have black feathers with golden/brown tips. Sorta looks like how my black sex-links chest feathers did when they started to get feathers except instead of just being on their chest all of their feathers are black with the golden tip.
I have a R.I.Red roo in a coop with 4 R.I.Red hens and 2 Delaware hens. This past weekend I hatched some eggs from this same group of chickens and got red chicks (which I know are R.I.Reds) but I also got 2 pure black chicks. Can someone please explain how this happened? How did I get black...
