Default Black Princes

Here are a couple of my black chicks.....I have a sneaking suspicion that at least four of the five are male.





I look forward to seeing them as adults, though,

Ooh Sandie they are handsome. I'm assuming they are crosses- is there pekin in there?
Tend to agree with you, there's a lot of comb and tail feathers going on for them to be anything other than princes!

The 3 with feathered legs are Blue Partridge Brahma X La Flèche.

One is pure La Flèche (he has the usual double pronged comb).

The fifth has La Flèche mother, but I am unsure who the father is (The legs don't have feathers, but he's not pure La Flèche either).
