I got this girl along with 3 others from a guy that ran out of room. He gave me an Americana, a RIR, a Silverrudd? Doesn’t really look like a Silverrudd i have seen pictures of but could be wrong, and the one really in question is this Maran he added in. I know MM are a cross and she has really fluffy feet compared to the cleaner legs of MMs. Can she be just a black maran compared to a BCM? She has no copper so feels like not a BCM. Thoughts? Added in the supposed Silverrudd!

Also, does anyone know if the little lady in the last picture looks like a Silverudd? Everything i have seen online of them does not look like her.. she looks she has a darker comb/waddle and darker overall. Thanks!

I wonder if she could have some Ayam Cemani in her? She looks sort of like a Zombie chicken with the dark coloring.
 
I have a midnight majesty maran that looks very similar to your first picture. Mine does not have the feathered feet, but I have read on Hoovers that they can. I also have a Mystic onyx that has the black comb. She is all black though and doesn't have the more Grey color. Does yours have the extra toe? They are crossed with a silkie I believe, so they can have that (mine does). Where did you get them?

I got them from a guy that said he had too many and needed to get rid of some. He said they were Rhode Island Red (not pictured), Americana (behind the Maran in picture 2), a Maran (picture 1 and 2), and Silverudd (picture 3). Maran does not have an extra toe and neither does the supposed Silverudd.. just hard telling what kind of Maran she is (wishing still a BCM).. and the supposed Silverudd doesn’t look like any pictures I could find. Sc_chickengirl might be on to something about maybe she is crossed with something? He didn’t say where he got him from so that hasn’t helped with narrowing anything down!

Welp, it will make it exciting when they lay their eggs not knowing what to expect! I have a mystery chicken that I'm hoping surprises me with blue eggs, but she's not even remotely pinking up in her comb at 19 weeks like her flock mates 😭 they are pretty either way, but I totally understand wanting to know! Fingers crossed for some dark eggs for you on the one

She is in a pen full of “Chocolate Eggers” from cackle that are at 19 weeks tomorrow and not laying yet or getting red in their combs either! I do have some “Sapphire Sky” girls that are the same age and have been laying their green eggs for about a week or 2! Will be interesting if I can tell everyone’s eggs apart from the green of the Sky girls, the potential green of a Silverudd, the mystery color of the Americana/EE girl, the hopefully BCM, and the Chocolate Eggers! Fun fun!! Will snap some pictures when they do start laying!
