These were among my first chicks. They, along with the red stars have been the most consistent layers of the 19 assorted hens we have. Their black feathers have a beautiful greenish sheen in sunlight, and they're enormous compared to the rest of the flock. They are not much for being stroked or handled, but just quietly go about their egg-laying every day. I think they are probably good for eating as well, but I may never know.
