It seems to be quiet as far as comments on pictures and such lately. I am wondering if there is Brown Red or Mottled in the parents background somewhere. I don't know sure but it is my best guess.

Thanks, The flock they came from are some very nice black Bantoms I E-mailed pics to the breeders but haven't heard anything back from but they are local and we run into them all the time.
From what they said they have only had black chicks from them before but who knows these may be from one of the newer additions or younger birds who knows.
Goldie is quite pretty though and has the best attitude of them all!!
My best guess would be that your Blacks had a Silver laced parent. Both these bird look partially laced. I have similar birds from breeding Black x Gold laced and then breeding the resulting offspring back together.
concidering these are more than likely siblings being two odd balls out of the incubator, .. "what do you predict the out come may be if we allow them to be a pair and raise some chicks?
We have more from the same breeder out of succesive hatches both buffs and blacks "buffs for the grand kidswho are not part of the project" and blacks to attempt to get a few more hens for what was to be the black project.
Also for Marys broody hen bin to save on incubator space
