Forgot to mention that they are mutts- I don't have any info on possible parents.

Raven's comb is mostly black, but the tinge at the top is...

Hi Everyone! I'm new to BYC and have already learned a lot from you all, just by lurking. ;)
I'd like to introduce my 4 chicks and pick your collective brains about what breeds you think they might be. I got them as 'mystery chicks'. They are ~12 days old.
I'll post updated pics as they...
