Interesting...The ad says that she has Black Marans in her flock. If a BC mates with a B I'll bet it leads to something like this. The two smallest chicks of the six we hatched out are very dark with barely a light grey underbelly. They also both have the most severe toe deformities. The egg colors were wonderful however.This chick looks to be over melanized and will probably not have much copper as an adult. Mossiness tends to be on over melanized birds.
We'll just have to see what we get.
