This chick is MY very first egg hatched from my very own chickens!
3 weeks old Saturday. VERY spunky. An escape artist already. I think Hudini is the right name for now.
I think he/she is adorable and am still waiting to see what it turns into. Meanwhile it is a cross between a black Araucana roo over either my white or black my pure silkie hens.
It hatched out black as the Ace of Spades and continues to feather out black so far.....with 5 toes and black skin....no crest/top knot.....lightly feathered shanks but not the lower legs or feet.....black eyes, normal feathering and LOOOONG long legs.
More interesting to me is that it appears to be Rumpless?
All you Araucana experts let me know if so.
This is going to be fun watching her grow up. Hope it's a she anyways. I think she might be a NYC Rockett if those legs keep getting any longer.
