Hoover’s Mystic Onyx

[jessb88]

Just got these two beauties from my local feed store. They are mystic onyx from Hoover’s. As soon as I heard about them, I knew I had to have at least 2 to add to my small flock. I was able to hand pick them, they are both solid black, with 5 toes.

Update on the 2 oddball chicks from last time and 2 that are just part of the horde of 21 black chicks. I didn't take pictures of i but 1 black chick is starting to redden out and 1 that was the smallest passed away I suspect it was being bullied. Still have 24 out of the 25 I originally ordered.

Freedom Ranger Hatchery calls them Southern Ramblers . I don't know why different hatcheries have to put different names on them,. Just to cause confusion.

Right! they could have called them midnight americanas. It would have given them a name people already associate with a mixed chicken. Especially since they they just seem to be a silkie mixed into their americana lines. Atleast the 25 I got from hoover do.

Hoping my tsc has these. I’d love a couple for looks but definitely don’t need to order 20 chicks.

I think freedom ranger hatchery is hatching Rustic Rambler..black pullets red cones and orange eye color. Those birds r a cross between barred rock hen and black copper Maran rooster. They r not a Mystic Onyx

Freedom ranger hatchery sells Rustic rambler which is a barred rock hen crossed with a black copper Maran rooster. The southern rustic rambler or rustic rambler southern rambler..those birds have red cone and waddles orange eye color. The birds tractor supply is selling r all black black eyes and cones with black legs 5 toes r Mystic Onyx. Tractor supply doesn't know the breed of bird they r selling. I think hoover hatchery is the only large hatchery in the states hatching this breed atm
