So does anybody know what gene is it that make the black color go all the way to the bone? And how it is notated?
 
I'd presume it is Fm; possibly with additional melanizers, possibly a different allele of Fm that is even darker than in silkies or maybe some of both.
 
This hen when mated to a non black skin rooster, produced young with black skin and bones. As you can see if you look closely, there are some orange-ish feathers on her throat. I really don't know what her breed is, as I got her at an auction. She is 1 year old in these pictures. She is without question the dominant hen in the pen.

yes, fibro is dominate, so even if 1 parent just has it, the chicks will all get a single copy. They wont be as dark as double dosed birds, but when you breed then to a fibro bird again, the chicks that time will be nice and dark.

that hen look Cornish, or thia ... game based for sure
 
That is a nice looking hen, Id say thai or shamo with that body type, cornish are not that upright, they are thicker.

After seeing her, I may put my Cemani cross rooster with my oriental game hens. <3
