Some colors of Old English game have dark skin. But if she is very big, maybe she is mixed.

They're small about the size of a dove I just don't know if they'll get any bigger

There are Large fowl Old Engs, but they are very rare. American Game are also similar to OEGs but larger, but they are also very rare. Most likely she is a cross, or her parent(s) were crossed. Where did you get her?

I got her from a neighbor who has bred these chickens for nearly 50 years he said they were standard size and pure Old English I just thought Old English were bantam both Pullets parents are pure

Try posting some pics with something that would show size perspective. A ruler, or soda can, or something we know the size of.

She probably is a Large fowl OEG as long as he is a reputable breeder, which it kind of sounds like he is.
