I've actually seen way less blacks than mottled, so from that aspect a black is more special. I do agree that the mottled is nicer though

This chick is black. For future reference, Mottled Brahmas are extremely rare in the US. I only know of one or two breeders from a facebook group. On the contrary, there are many more black/blue breeders but they're still quite rare. Black Brahmas have much larger amounts of white on them compared to other black breeds because their standard calls for yellow shanks and there is correlation between black enhancers and darker shanks. This leads to a more steely grey color. I had the same question with my Black Brahmas. Here's my thread from a few years ago.

I will be curious to see how he looks as he grows up. Some chicks seem to change color as they grow, and some don't, so I guess we will see which way yours goes

It's a very interesting case for sure. I will also be following. OP, I (and I think NatJ as well) would love updates of this guy/girl

I am doubtful it's mottled to be honest. Time will tell but down and feathering doesn't look mottled at all to me. It should come in in white patches in this first feather set

 

[fluffycrow]

I agree, I'm doubtful it's going to end up mottled, but time will tell!

Yes, I would definitely like to see updates as well.

No matter who is "right" about the color of the chick, I can learn that this color of chick actually grew up to be ____ color, which is just plain fun as well as helping me make more accurate guesses in future.
