All black chick with feathered feet...what are you?!?

[Kristen12]

All black chick with feathered feet...I got this one from a farm and she has a lot of roos and a lot of breeds so she isn't sure what she hatched and neither do I...help! Also do you think male or female?! She thought this was a bantam cochin or birchen cross because of the fuzzy butt in the first week...but I just dont know.

A cross bred for sure with possibly some Cochin DNA - time will give a better idea as to parentage.

 

[Oncoming Storm]

The Cochin is definitely a possibility. It’s too young for a gender guess. I’d repost when they’re 6-8 weeks old.

Where did you get it?

Just a local farm. She wanted to see what would come out of her barnyard mixed eggs and I love the different mixed chickens.

My bets are on Silkie mix. It explains the feathered legs and what appears to be fibromelanosis

If I remember right she didn't have any silkies.

Hmm okay. Any Ayam Cemanis, Mystic Onyx, Swedish Black Hens, Sumatras, Hedemoras or Southern Ramblers then?

She has an Ayam cemanis rooster.

Ah ha! Well it's very likely to be part Ayam Cemani then! What feather-legged breeds did she have?
