Interesting!

A few weeks ago, I decided to try and hatch a few chicks out of my Buff Laced Sebright Hen and Black Frizzle Cochin cockerel. Only one hatched, and wow! It is not what I expected! I was taking a guess and had assumed the chicks would come out as black with a few buff/white spots/lacing, but this one is entirely black. Legs and all. I’m excited to see how it turns out (frizzled or not), and how the color changes in the next few weeks.

That's why the chick is all black. It has a chance of being frizzle - depending on the father's genes.
He's gorgeous

Thank you, I know why the chick is black and that it has a 50-50% chance of being frizzled, im just documenting how it turns out over time.

Iz he frizzle? I think you should be able to tell. Also, what a handsome boy. Here is my Frizzle Cochin Bantam boy. They could be brothers!

He is a frizzle! I can’t take any pictures right now, as I’m away from home, but I will as soon as I’m back

Do you have updated pictures? A purebred buff laced sebright shouldn’t be able to produce a black chick, since the gene that causes the white in buff lacing is dominant over black.

If the Buff laced is the product of a Buff laced x Golden Laced it will produce 100% Buff laced that are heterozygous for the dominant white gene and when cross to a self black breed it would get a 50% chance of all black and 50% all white

That’s what I meant by purebred buff laced, a heterozygous color cross is what I was assuming is the case here.
