Sold As Black Leggorn

[abriesamma]

This sweet baby was sold to us as a Black Leggorn but it’s nothing like the other one. The other one has orangish feet but this one is all black. Any idea what it might be

Who sold them to you?
Not sure what either are but certainly the one isn't a leghorn and IMO the other one isn't either.

You'll need to wait until they feather out and post pics. So many breeds of this color look alike at this age.

I agree that neither appear to be LH's.

the lighter one reminds me of a Barred rock

There are a few breeds that are completely black.

They could be all different breeds, could have an ayam cemani, barred rock, and something else. Because the only fully black chick is ayam cemani

Black Leghorns exist. So do Black Minorcas. But I don't think you have either one of them.

Maybe a Black Sexlink? They are common, and are good layers. (Leghorns are good layers. Sexlinks are good layers--maybe the guy mixed up the breed names among the "good layer" types.)

Black Sexlinks can come from several different crosses of parent breeds, so they are not entirely consistent, but some of them do have a lot of black.

Black Minorca chicks have white on their legs, definately not them.

Wait and see what he looks like when he's older

I got them at Tractor Supply. I’d never heard of Black leghorns but the guy swore these were
