I ordered 5 female Black Star chicks from a hatchery and I received 6 chicks. They are 1 week old. The 6th chick isnt a Black Star due to the yellow fluff. I suspected that it might be a Black Australorp chick but now I'm not sure due to the prevalent yellow fluff.
I know Black Australorps are black in color, I've owned them. But I dont remember the yellow being prominent as in this case. Of course the chick might turn out to be a cockerel, hatcheries are known to add "extra" chicks.
Black Star chick is on the right in the first photo:

It would have feathered feet if it was that breed of maran. I can't remember, but I think there is a maran breed that has clean, yellow feet, so that is possible.
They are from Mt Healthy hatchery.
I just checked the feet and legs on the chick, and the legs are black in color and it's feet are as in the pic above. No feathers on the legs or feet.
