Black Chicken

[SageWalker96]

Hello Everyone we recently had a predator come threw and wipe most of our flock out. After extending our fence and making the coop practically bear proof we decided to get some babies from the pet store. However they had no labels so we aren't completely sure on what we got they are supposed to be 3-4 weeks old. Any help on identification would be much appreciated. Thank you for the help!

I believe they're Australorps.

Any guess on this little guy? He was a different breed. He's all black feet, skin, comb, with a brown tipped beak and tongue.

I was talking about both.

Mystic Onyx could be a possibility, but I believe those have a Crest, & 5 toes. Or no crest.

The one with black skin is probably a mystic onyx, also known as a southern rambler.

Could it still be a onyx even if it only has 4 toes?

I think you might be right! I do know the one with white is a wyndote australop mix since we hatched him but that'd the only one we really know.

But the all black one is much larger then all the other chicks his age.

He doesn't look like mix of Wyandotte, the rose comb gene is dominant over Single comb.
