black comb? what am i?

[spish]

i have a few what i thought were chabos that hatched a few weeks back, but one has a black comb?
i didnt think chabos got black combs........so what are my little bantams?

and her brothers and sisters... (the last few are from a later hatch hence why they are smaller)

oh my look at the dust on my incubator (so ashamed, just noticed it!)

 

[mother o' chicks72]

they all look like some kind of game bird

No, those are Chabos, don't worry. The black is just excessive pigment. She'll grow out of it.

[mother o' chicks72]

are the bottom 3 looking a little frizzled to anyone else?

 

[Illia]

Maybe one does, but otherwise they just look like odd feather development. Often which chicks aren't exposed to natural weather for a long time, their feathers start to stray outward.

the roo from these is supposedly frizzled so its possible

I have the same issue with my black wyandotte chicks. My breeder just told me it'll fade. Whew! The top 3 chicks are dead ringers for my wyandotte chicks. Now to google Chabos...
