I'm stumped

Thank you everyone!

Sexlink was my first thought, but her legs! Killed me! I kept reading and just couldn't decide.
Either way, shes lovely and I'm stoked to have added her. Just wish the others of her breed were around too! My friend lost a lot of her littles to a dog. She survived, so I took her and her remaining home. But she was the only like it!
 
Black sex link. This is not a breed, but a sex linked feather pattern. Any number of birds can be bred together to produce a black sex link. So, while the BSL will always be black, she may have some other colors bleeding through. Her comb can be single, rose, pea, or walnut, She can have varied colored shanks and skin, feet can be feathered or not, depending on the breeds chosen for her parents. For more info, read the first post in "the sex linked information thread." Many of my BSL pullets have walnut combs and lay green/aqua/ or olive colored eggs.
 
Asian Black's look exactly like this except the gold is silver.
That's good to know, thanks! Are these black skinned Sexlinks new? I got mine last year and they never looked anything like this so that's what threw me off to give bad info to the OP.. they always had pink skin and barely any brown streaks on the chest. Blue legs with white nails.
 
Is the skin under the feathers black, or just the shanks and comb? Many of my home bred BSL have black combs until they either: become sexually mature, or go through their first adult molt. Those birds typically have slate legs, but their skin is not black.
