SOLID BLACK CHICK hatched from a Green egg?

[Pratik1234]

We bought few dozen different eggs and incubated them, One of them when it hatched it was SOLID BLACK Skin and all (not a silkie, has no feathers on the legs) has 4 toes. It hatched out of GREEN EGG. We are trying to figure out what breed it could be, as it’s totally black. Has anyone else experienced this before? Please help.

Definitely not impossible. I myself breed such birds. Mine are high percentage ayam cemani crosses. Since there are no purebred fibro breeds that lay green eggs, yours is likely a mix of some variety, with a fibromelanstic breed in its ancestry recently.

I got all my hatching eggs from a chicken farm, all their chickens are free range and they have Ayem Cemanis too. In fact I got 2 AC eggs from them but they didn’t make it past 14 days. But this was unexpected and I’m still trying to figure out what breed it could be. I will post a picture of the chick in few hours once the hatch is complete.

Sounds like you have an EE hen covered by a AC rooster chick.

Here is the picture. I tried to keep focus on it. Looks like it has a bit white on the tip of the beak. But rest of the body completely black.

What a beautiful chick! Very cool! I'm interested to see what it looks like as it grows!

Perhaps this may help...I have a white hen who lays tan and a grey hen who lays green who have clean legs, regular toes and the look of EEs but have almost black skin. Their legs are green. They exhibit no other signs of being Silky. The lady had Silky's so there's no mistaking it.

You can imagine my surprise when I got a female Silkie chick from the EE females and the above red rooster. I have Silkies, but they were not in the breeding.

I didn't figure it out until I saw Cynthia's back. (She looks terrible below, she was a favorite and she's moulting in this pic...lol)

It will be interesting to see your chick as it grows!! And how black it stays possibly being part AC.
Please keep us updated!
