Why is my salmon faverolle black??

[Erin80]

She does have feathered legs...not sure you can see that in the picture.

So it's supposed to be a purebred?

After looking at the performance poultry site i think you may have a langshan.

Hmmm interesting. Yes she’s supposed to be purebred. Guess we will wait a bit and see what she turns out to be.

Curious also, to see what she ends up.

Still hoping she is a Brahma!! If not, I will be contacting the hatchery because I was really looking forward to a Brahma.

Not a Salmon Favorelle or a Light Brahma.

Have you tried asking the hatchery? I can't zoom in enough to identify comb type but if it's a single, I'd say Langshan too. If it's a pea comb (as a Brahma would have) I'd expect that it's a cross.

I was confusing her with my salmon faverolle....lol. Not a light brahma though.....so she's still a mystery.

Pea comb. Could she be a buff brahma maybe?
I haven't asked the hatchery because I only just got her yesterday as a day old, and I don't know enough about chicken breeds to start questioning them. I have only been keeping chickens for a year If she grows up a little and is definitely not a light brahma, I will call them.
