What is this black hen?

[Maverick061106]

These chickens are about 3-4 months old (guessing)...

We got these six babies as Buckeyes, but one is darker than the rest (and I haven't seen or read anything about black Buckeyes...).

Ever since we got them, they have always stuck together - put them in a bin with 14 other babies the same size when we first got them, and they STILL stayed in a little group all the time.

She (?) still has some baby feathers clinging to her head...

Where did you get the chicks from?

There is no such breed as a "Black Buckeye" I would say it was/is a cross breed or.

Or like others said in your other post it could be a Cornish.

Maybe mixed with a type of Cornish...?

We got them from Ward's Feed Store here locally. I am thinking they said they got thier orders from McMurray Hatchery, but am not positive on that...

Then I would say Dark Cornish
