they look good to me. my little ones looked pretty much like this and now they are 2 years old and a good color black. occasionally if the light hits them right i can see a little red through the black on their combs but my understanding is that this is also normal. ultimately though they are majorly black and shiny. Greenfire is the other one i couldn't think of so there is the line in cali and greenfire in florida. This breed seems to be slow in taking off in other areas and even though they are expensive they are gorgeous. mine lay some really nice dark brown eggs that are a large egg. i have found them to be an easy breed to work with and i usually don't have any big issues with them and have bred a couple of mine and incubated the eggs. I have them in with my buff orpington hens, ducks, and female turkeys and they all seem to get along together fine. during the day i just let them run around and they come back in on their own at night.
