I have a black hen and a black roo both are BLACK, I hatched some blue chicks, [not from these two], and they are really blue.
Now I have hatched some supposed to be Black from the first mentioned blacks and they just hatched and seem not so Black!
Are the chicks lighter when hatched and get blacker?
also have some [blacks] a week or so old and they seem to have blue wing feathers coming in, they are really dark and much darker than the blues...am I concerned for no reason?
This is what I think Black should look like, my hen Sweething
How can I be sure her chicks are really black? Can you tell on the chicks right now somehow?
Thanks!
Cheryl
