Buckeyes... but "one of these things is not like the other..."

[Maverick061106]

We got the last six Buckeye babies at the feed store around Easter. We love them - never knew they existed before, but fell in love as soon as we saw them, and love them even more as they are growing! One is not the color of a Buckeye, though...

Here they are as babies...

And now...

But what is the black one? Anybody? Several folks on here have told me it's NOT a Buckeye...

maybe a black sex-link?

 

[Ladybirds9]

looks a lot like a dark cornish.

I thought Cornish also, with those yellow legs.
But a Cornish should have a pea comb.... What does its comb look like? (Hard to tell from the pics.)

It's comb is still very small and yellow, so I'm not sure yet. It's comb looks very similar to the Buckeyes (which have a pea comb) and has developed right along with them (they have all been slow-growing, compared to the other chickens we got around the same time) - Buckeyes are supposed to be a fairly large/stocky chicken, from what I understand, and this black one seems to be growing at the same rate as them...

Ever since we got them, they have always stuck together - put them in a bin with 14 other babies the same size when we first got them, and they STILL stayed in a little group all the time.

She (?) still has some baby feathers clinging to her head...

Definitely a Dark Cornish.
