Had one.She lays nice white eggs but I couldn't keep her inside my fenced yard.. Even with clipped wings she cleared my 6 ft fence with ease.

Looks like all the black chicks are birchin and cockerels... Sigh 5 out of nine. Not sure of the wild type... Comb is straight like a hens and pink not getting any redder... Hoping for 4 hens.

how many cockerels can you see off hand? They are a Seramas /Silkie OEG mix. Dad is OEG. All feathered out like pullets I've had before. 4 weeks old today. Hoping for at least a pullet or two.

My pullet doesn' have black skin. Is she probably a mix then?

I didn't see any mention of where you got her. Knowing the source might narrow it down. She looks half raven to me

I got her from My Pet Chicken. She was part of a rare breed assortment I got. None of them look rare to me though haha, but what do I know.

BLACK SUMATRAS face blackens in sunlight. Mulberry face in winter months or if kept inside a coop. I bet she's a black sumatras . Beautiful bird you have.

You'll know for certain when she lays a egg. The (I think) are the only chicken without white earlopes who lay white eggs.

Thank you for explaining that to me. That's great. I was wondering what type of chicken she was for awhile. My husband kept asking if she was a raven and not a chicken haha. Reading about the black Sumatra breed explains it.

your welcome. Like I said she's beautiful and will get prettier the older she gets.
