So, I’m trying to figure out what breed she is. I was thinking this was my other black sex link, however she looks different! My black sex link is the other hen in the photos with the brown feathers and reddish comb. This girl is ALLLL black. Comb and everything. Also a little bigger.
Black jersey giant???

It looks like a Hoover's Hatchery Mystic Onyx or something like that with the melanization. Did you get them from a feed store?
I bought them from Family Farm and Home. She is larger than the others, so maybe a black jersey giant?? But online pictures show them with a red comb.

It has fibromenlanosis, which basically means it's completely black, skin and everything. So definitely not Jersey Giant. Also your jersey giants would have been GIGANTIC, much bigger than the other chickens at this age (I assume they're anywhere from 8-12 wks old). However I don't know much about fibro chicken breeds, but you can do some research about ayam cemani, Sumatra, mystic onyx, and any other breeds that have completely black everything to find out about her breed!

Good luck with your search :thumbsup
