Black comb and wattle? What is this?

[lancasterflock]

I apologize. I posted earlier a picture of my other BCM and just realized THIS is the one I had the most questions about.
So I bought “her” ( ??? ) while she was a baby. Was told she was a black copper maran. Where the rest of my flock are now starting to get a little red on their faces and wattles, this ones face, wattle and comb are completely black??? Light feathering on the feet. a little iridescent looking on the back? The white you see on her back is from paint she walked into when she was younger I’m baffled. What do you guys think? BCM? Or something else?

ayam Cemani?

I had to see what state you were from, lol, I was like cr#@ did I do that! It wasn't me, lol, but I'm a backyard breeder and I was incubating my Ayam Cemani and Black Copper Marans (along with others) at the same time. Anything is possible.

Leaning towards Ayam Cemani. This is a pullet from my flock.

So close! The black one up front is a French Barbezieux.

I have Deathlayers separated in a run. Three buyers waiting for eggs. They’re not the best of layers despite their name! But $60 for a half dozen, I’ll definitely provide them some hatching eggs.

I think you really have to know what people are looking for. I’m breeding one kind at a time. For personal flock and to make some extra $ to cover feed. That’s it. That $60 only covers 3 days of organic feed lol. I’ll leave it to the pros to make the big bucks. Good luck on your venture! Curious to see a breeding coop/run setup.

Are those white dots on it's feathers in the pics always there or just shmutz?

The white dots are from the chicken coop paint she walked into when I was doing touch ups

Some breeds just have such similar patterns that it’s tough to guess. Which is probably what happened with Mr stoner chimken dealer lol

The Silverudds Blues (Isbars) all lay green speckled eggs.

I wouldn't know an isbar if it hit me in the face
I got a Silver Laced Wyandotte that was supposed to be a Cuckoo Marans, and a Buff Orpington that was supposed to be a Light Sussex. They were chicks at the time, but the man breeds chickens. He should have known the breeds of the chicks he was selling. They were pretty obviously not what he said.

So I sent him a message to ask if they were a Wyandotte and a BO, and he didn't reply.

Oh wow-you've managed to stump both of us XD you're just too fancy for me.

Not fancy! Just like weird/different. I wanted all Ayam Cemanis, then I realized they’re common where I live and not weird/different anymore. Needed to one up in the game of weirdness.

After this thread, I won’t need to breed the Cemanis and Marans to see what they will look like lol

Having a variety is interesting. Bantams won’t work here as the emus try to squish small things. Broodies can’t bring their babies out either. Do you have a breeding setup?

As you can see we have a lot of the noise makers too! This is about a quarter of the flock. Some of the roos have become dinner for a couple families, sadly.

Alright... now guess the breeds lol

You're gonna have to wait a while for pics.....this is a fantasy setup and since I'm a minor won't happen for a good long while.
