I have mottled javas which are a bit more popular than the blacks, but I love love LOVE them. They find almost all the food for themselves, learn very easily (get into trouble a lot ), and I think their beautiful black beetle green sheen is gorgeous in the light, especially with the white tips. They are plenty meaty, and are dependable layers as well.
I think they are the perfect homestead chickens!

I had 6 light Brahmas, I only have 2 left. 4 were killed by my cochins and welsummers...which have shown no other signs of aggression to any of my other birds. Also, they are the worst foragers of all my breeds and prefer to stay in or next to the coop and be fed rather than search for bugs. They are sweet to people and enjoy being held but they just do not work for anyone (in my opinion) looking for a mixed flock free ranger.
