So, the initial chick buying frenzy has nearly ceased in our area. TSC now has an abundance of chicks and I could hear the little chirps and peeps as soon as I walked in the door. So a quick detour (just to look) and I could see the discount sign posted for the chicks they've had for too long. I've previously made it out without giving in, but they had discount Smokey Pearl pullets! The other bin of "premium" chicks were labeled as Pearl Onyx. My brooder is empty but still set up, so what's four more going to hurt? I've been wanting Smokey Pearls and I'd never heard of Pearl Onyx. Once home, I notice out of these 2 pairs, only one chick has the dark blackish skin. I know last year our TSC ordered from Privett Hatchery and the year before that, from Cackle. Neither hatchery has info on Pearl Onyx. I checked Hoover Hatchery also with no luck. Google also has brought me no info. Does anyone have info on what mix is used for the Pearl Onyx?
