CANNOT ID CHICKEN

[TheOddOneOut]

this is the best I could salvage from my previous photos:
She had 5 toes on both feet, not sure if this was deformity. And they are completely black as shown.
The comb and waddle was also completely black as well as the beak (except for very tip of beak).
hopefully this helps

HE is an AC mix or an Asian black.

What color are the feet? Almost looks like a Barnevelder.

A Barnvelder can’t have black skin. This cockerel has black skin and feathers with gold leakage, not lacing.

Black skin....extra toes.....definitely a mix that likely included silkie somewhere in the lineage.

Neat looking bird.

I still think Ayam Cemani or a mix with it in it, a Kadaknath which is an all black bird with black comb and wattles as well as black legs and feet. Again, I don't know how common they are, a Swedish Black AKA Svarthöna. All have black skin as well as black combs and wattles, legs and feet. With the brown streaks in the feathers it could be a mix with one of these breeds in it.

Thanks for the correction. I haven’t owned any myself so I was just going by looks.

Asia Black if its a hatchery bird.

Asia Black chickens have a reddish comb and wattles.

Asia Black chickens have a reddish comb and wattles.

Not the ones I've seen. They all had dark faces.

So first of all, it seems like the group consensus is that it was a He and not a she. I had my doubts when TCS said they were all hens. Does anyone disagree?

The breeds we have narrowed down to are: 1) Ayam Cemani or a mix with it (possible silkie, side note, what distinguishing features would classify it as a slikie mix?), or, 2) Svart Höna (Swedish Black Hen), or 3) Kadaknath (however this breed comb style seems different than mine, I also did not notice brown) 4) A mix of any of the above -- Am I missing any?

I would love to know for sure. This is quite the puzzle.

And thank you everyone, this has been amazing, i love the community of chicken owners.

Throwing this out there.......
Have you asked your TSC where they get their chicks?
If so have you gone through their website to look for similar birds?
Now knowing you got the bird from TSC ?i agree with @Gray Farms that it is an "Asia Black".
