I don't know where you are but there are two breeders in Missouri. One has single comb and the other has both single and rose comb blacks.

I've never raised blacks but I raised white Minorcas and I loved them.
If I had more room and time I'd keep them again.

McMurray Hatchery has some black Minorca chicks. We got a buff Minorca chick from them and she's doing great.

Thanks so much, my blacks were gorgeous & loved cooked oatmeal, of which I have a bowl every morn with bananas or whatever & I would walk outside sit on the back steps & they had free range over a large back yard fenced as I have three pit dogs that rhe chickens would walk right over & dogss just lay there,,,anyway rambling now but I could tap the bowl with the spoon & they would run/fly to me stand on my feet & wait for me to put a spoon full of oatmeal rhey would eat it quick & look for more so I had to fix 2 bowls every morn, 1 for them the smaller bowl for me,, but a mive separated us but I guess them to a young lady & I know she is still feeding them a snack once a day of oatmeal
