Why is my salmon faverolle black??

[Erin80]

I got this day old salmon faverolle today from Performance Poultry (excellent reputation). I had asked for one female salmon faverolle. I was very surprised to see an almost all black chick. Are they usually black? I’ve never kept faverolles before.

Is that a single comb? Faverolle come in black, but I haven't personally seen on of them sold.

There are Black Faverolles but they aren’t common. Does the chick have 5 toes?

Not a light Brahma. What color are those legs? Pink?

Not Brahma, they have yellow legs. How many toes?

 

[Erin80]

Four toes. This hatchery hasn’t ever messed up any orders that I know of before (my friends all order from them)...hmmmm....I really wanted a Brahma.....
