Dark Meat Bird ... please help identify

[qiab]

What breed of chicken is this. It has a dark skin like Silkies.

What other breed of chickens have the dark skin?

Thank you

Those were created. They aren't a set breed like Ayam Cemani, or silkie, sumatra, etc...

Going by what is said on their website, they're apparently a dark skinned easter egger (i.e. mixed breed). Says they lay blue/green/brown eggs.

I THINK C L is saying they are cross breds and if they have black skin it is difficult to say which breed contributed it .

Can you guys give me breeds that have similiar skin tone like the Silkies?

And where can I buy standard size Silkies? Not interested in Bantam Silkies.

Thank you

Silkies are considered to be a bantam, and when shown they are in the bantam
size class. The standard calls for males 36 oz and females 32 oz so 2.5-4 lbs. Some breeders are creating some huge silkies, like 4-6lbs but they are normally smaller, bantam sized.

The color pattern/variety is Golden Duck Wing. Looks like an Araucana cross (Easter Egger) to me.

This looks like a cross with Silkie grandparent stock in there somewhere. I have chickens like this.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture. I just sold this guy last month.

EE game cross, so it could be EE X Sumatra

Now there are some breeds here in the US with a somewhat dark skin that are very "American Gamey" looking, but these certainly aren't them. (they're faar too rare for someone to just so happen to have)

They look exactly to me like Easter Eggers. The color, the pea comb, the leg color - I've seen some EE strains with dark skin before.

I agree. Some EEgers have a blue-ish pigment in their skin.
