didn't know that they where black and reds along with the white X-rocks meat birds

They are probably destined for the either Asia or Asian markets in the USA as black skinned birds.

Black broilers and red broilers don't have black skin. The black skinned birds are silkies, I think.

Ok I knowest that the baby chick's seem to have feathered feet like the Lt Bramham Roo , very much bigger then the rest -The RI.R /X -ROCKS have no feather feet but are big and red .

they are with a few hatchings of RI .R / and cross of Bk Jer. Gaints / B. O chicks from my other pen of egglayers whih are a lot smaller then the home grow X-rock crosses

hopefully I get some big birds with this cross of X-rock conish hens / LT. Bramham roo -n- RI. Reds Roo

Not sure what I get but love to toy around with things ........LOL ......

correct, black and red broilers have yellow skin, silkies have black skin.

Silkies are near-unique among chickens: both skin and bones are black.
Black skin is found in only silkies and some rare breeds - the Indonesian Ayam Cemani, the South American Black Quechua Olmec, and the Swedish Svart Höna.
The Black Sumatra and Rapanui breeds sometimes have black skin also.

Well he could not find the black chicks in the grower houses so I now have 3 new Cornish X chicks that are white
