Chick color black/blue
Sharon Yorks:
Here is chick #1 that was hatched January 1st. Is it black or blue? My guess is black, but this one looks just like Coal did and he turned out to be blue.
Sharon Yorks:
Here is chick #2. It just hatched today. It looks blue to me, but this one looks like Indi (pictured above) and she turned out black.
Sharon Yorks:
Chick #3 - Hatched this morning. My guess is black.
Sharon Yorks:
Some of my NYD chicks. Lots of blacks...but are they really black ???
greeneggsandham:
Well to me, the blacks look black and the blues look blue. I don't have any suggestions except to say if I had to know early on what they were, I would put the black chick up against a black from a 100% black pairing and try to note any differences as they mature until you can tell. Then keep that in mind next hatch and see if the same happens.
I have nothing on the blues, except to say I would be shocked if they turned out black.
I would love to see a pic of your mature black (blue) chicks though. I think I saw a pic of one of your blues once and she looked great. Was she a black chick?
