This is what Dark Cornish chicks looks like.
I was only supposed to be hatching Dark Cornish eggs today.
I go downstairs and find two chicks in my incubator.
One of my mixed flock eggs must have gotten mixed in with my Cornish hatching eggs.
Since the chick is feather footed and looks almost exactly like my avatar did as a chick, my best guess, is that the black chick is a 3/4 Cochin, from my Avatar roo and of his BSL daughters. This level of inbreeding isn't bad, especially since the chick has 1/8th Dominique and 1/8th Buff or RIR to widen the gene pool. I was wondering why one of the eggs was so much smaller than the other four. I was surprised when I saw it was the first one that pipped.
