Okay, I've been to Ardmore many times
All these birds (there is only one of each) were in the same pen, so it was some combination that made those mostly-black chicks

Hi Misty!
I can get a picture of them. I only wound up keeping a pair (of the blackish ones in question). The pullet is old enough to lay now, in fact I think she started a week ago. But the cockerel is younger, because of being from the last hatch.
They were more of a surprise.... or at least...
The assorted variety d'Uccle pen I had several months ago produced some mostly black chicks, and I would live to know who their parents are The chicks are fairly evenly black and white when hatched, but wind up being black with random white feathers around their head/neck/beard.
Roosters...
