What breed is the last one? It reminds me of a Dark Cornish, but the comb looks wrong for that breed.

I noticed that some of your "black birds" have four legs and fur

I have a mostly black pheonix (or Ketwa, either way the body and attitude is close enough) mix hen that I'll be adding to my potluck pheonix pen once I seperate them out.
