CHANGING COLOR OF CHICKS
No Purebred Black Fowl Is Ever Alb.
soIuteIy Black at Birth-coior
Changes With Growth.

The novice is often offended be-
cause chicks are not the color which
he expects them to be, but the color
of plumage, feet and shanks changes
with growth in many varieties. No
purebred black chick is ever absolute
ly black at birth. The more brilliant
the adult plumage, the truer this is.
The chick which is Jet black when
Matched is a cross and it's color will
change with age. A Langshan chick
is almost white with some gray on its
head and back, but it develops into q
black with an emerald sheen.
Barred Rock chicks are black and
white. Brown Leghorns and other red
varieties in which the cock has a
black breast have a wide brown stripe
in the middle of the back and other
dark bands, which are not so heavy.
The Silver varieties in which the
males have black breasts have similar
design in deep gray, the light stripes
being almost white. Reddish brown
birds are nearly black at birth, and
usually have some tan on the head
and around the eyes.

This brought on quite discussion,
and after going all the way down the

greatest ballplayer discovered in recent

his versatility. Though he can play
