What breed am I? I'm purchased as a chick from TSC

[stevesoileau]

Bought some chicks back in April from TSC and I have a rooster and hen that I can't seem to id them breed wise. Would that be a Pea comb or a Rose comb? Looking for some help from you wise folks here.
Thanks

The hen is on the right in this pic. The roo is out of fosus to the left.

The roo from the side.

Couple of head shots of the roo.

can you post a few better shots? side shots, so we can see feet, and combs better, I think that would help

Not an uncommon task when birds are bought at TSC from hatcheries, many people can't ID hatchery stock birds because of all the mixed blood of other breeds going in.

My guess is it's a very poor example of a Dark Cornish Rooster.

Will try to get some better pics this evening.
Thanks

Definitely a Cornish. Hatchery Cornish don't look much like normal ones, but still, a pretty boy.

i genrally dont like black chickens, this rooster of yours is so beautiful! the colors are very cool! even if its not a pure breed he is still a looker in my book!

Is the hen the not-just-black one? She looks kind of like my Partridge Cochin. does she have feathered feet?

They're both Dark Cornish. The hens have that lovely laced pattern.​

Nice eyes it's rare to find a SQ Cornish with pearl eyes consider yourself lucky. (BTW according to standard they are supposed to be pearl)
