Strange cochin color? More updates! Pics!

[Goose and Fig]

She is supposed to be BBS (Blue, Black, or Splash)
Not blue, black AND splash! Here's her at a few days:

And this is her now:

wing shot:

I have never seen a cochin chick develop black feathers later on- they've always had some black on day one if they were going to have any at all. Anyone had this happen? It might be totally normal- but it's new to me!

That should be blue mottled

I can't say I've ever seen blue mottled in a standard. Anyone have pics?
Should I NOT use her for breeding?

 

[Goose and Fig]

Please post some pics for me if you have had a chick like this! Thanks!

Pretty! Is that a banty? My odd girl is a standard.

Probably will finish out blue.

She could lose the black? I was sure she'd be splash- and the black showed up and threw me.​
