Black chick with feathering

[Halvo]

I bought some assorted rare breeds that are now about ten days old. One is jet black with a white chest and I just noticed she’s getting feathering on her legs and feet. Her body shape looks nothing like our white Cochins. Any ideas on what she might be?

Do you have pictures? Where did you get her?

Pictures would be most helpful.

She could be a Langshan.

I’m working on getting a photo. My friend has them at her house. When they are older they will go in my coop.

I’m working on getting a photo. I got her from Meyer Hatchery.

She's likely a Marans or a Langshan.

Meyer doesn't carry Langshans. How many toes does the foot feathering cover? I bet either a Cochin with an odd body type or a Marans

The feathering doesn’t really show up in the photos but it was evident today for the first time.

With that few feathers, it's either a Marans or a Marans-based Olive Egger breed of some sort
