(Okay....here she goes again...will this woman and "little black" ever go away, they say, as she posts still more photos...
)
Got little black (her?) into some good light and look at these colors in the feathers starting to sneak out: (These have become more prominent in the last 5 days and seem to continue to come out.)
(Orange anyone?)
Nice girl (but..................... those legs
)
Okay...I DID NOT WASH THESE FEET AND LEGS (Next time I take a photo of them when it is warmer and wash them first.)
(S)he has very yellow toenails and a bit of yellow undertones in the feet (and a bit in the leg). Not sure these photos will do a very good job of showing it.
A bit of yellow undertone in the leg but not much ...yet...
In this photo everything seems to have a red cast. Not sure if it's the lighting in the room or not.
Yesterday I hatched 3 SFH and 3 Black Orps from my own eggs. The first one out was a SFH and it was black. It looks identical to my 3 black orps,
right down to the gray legs. There is no possible way that it is a mix - the two breeds are housed at least 250 feet apart with a house and a pool in between them. And no mistaking the egg it came from, either. I will try to get pictures later today or tomorrow. I sure hope it doesn't take 6 months or more before I can tell the difference!

So, let's continue the "Little Black" discussion. Here are the five "black" SFH chicks I have in the brooder right now. They range from 1 to 2 weeks old, I took these today.
