6 week old “rare assorted breed” female black chick with no tail

[Patois]

I bought this from Meyer Hatchery “rare assorted breeds” mix

Hatched 8/1

She is black with some white but doesn’t have a tail! Any ideas what she could be?

Likely just a chick with either a slow tail or a random mutation.

Do you have the list of the options?

Okay, I can tell you right off the bat that most likely it's either a marans, Ameraucana, or Orpington. Leg color will help determine more, I'm not positive what breeds have white legs though

Cool! I’ll keep an eye on her and report back in a couple of weeks. Hope she grows a tail soon

I had a photo shoot with her today. She’s a bit of an ugly duckling

Is black Jersey giant possible? She’s so tiny. maybe black Andalusian?

She’s so awkward looking but appears to be slowly growing a tail
