Just mutts.
But I have some weird, unexplained genetic floating around my flock that results in all black birds about 25% of the time. Black feathers, black eyes and black skin. Although I have been noticing that some of them get reddish head gear as they age, but their skin remains a dusky blue colour. I do not know if their flesh is black although I had a friend butcher some surplus roos and he threw them away because he said their flesh was a weird black colour. He thought there was something wrong with them. I have never eaten one myself so no idea if the black goes into the flesh and bone.
Maybe I should be charging a premium for this mystery genetic? RIght now I have a big rooster with white/cream feathers and black skin. I have not had a white bird in my flock for year and years, I have NO idea where he came from! HE was silver when he hatched.
Damn! Now I want to plug in the incubator!
