In the Brooder
I have two chicks from a pure Qaib Thaib black hen crossed with a Ayam Cemani x Svarthona roo, but honestly they look mostly Cemani/Svarthona to me at this point. They don't stand very upright and are a bit fluffy, but are still pretty young anyway, maybe 6-7 weeks old now.
One had dark grey down instead of black at 5-7 days old so the breeder supposed another cock got to the hen, but they both look pretty much identical now except the grey-downed chick has a tiny bit more white on him.
The black-downed chick is pretty much all black with the exception of two toenails (if I remember correctly) and some random tiny little splotches on the tips of her left side chest feathers and a bit of pink in the mouth. The grey-downed one is all black with a few white tipped primaries and four white toenails (again, if I remember correctly), bit of pink in the mouth again. I think both had a tiny bit of pink on the pads of the feet as well. Both have the very big black eyes and black skin, combs, etc.
It's a bit luck-of-the-draw what you are going to get in the chicks - how much of their appearance is inherited from dad vs mom. You can just keep the ones you like the looks of best as they grow older, but studying up on genetics would really help you out in the long run. This is a decently thorough article to start with if you know the basics of genetic inheritance: http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations1.html#gen_mut_elocus
