Good morning!

Anyone have an idea of what breed could be used to make an olive egger that would result in an all black chicken, including comb and legs?

She has black, iridescent feathers, muffs and beard with black skin all over 😄 I’ll try to get a picture, she’s a bit skiddish.

Thank you!
 
Sounds like she has some Ayam Ceymani in her.Where did she come from?
They are from My Pet Chicken! We got three olive egger chicks - one looks exactly like a legbar, one like a blue copper Maran and then my special all black gal :). Interesting because otherwise, they match MPC description of their olive eggers:

Black skin and comb, and sometimes organs are caused by fibromelanosis, which means it must have silkie, ayam cemani, or svarthona. It is a dominant gene though, so it may not be a direct descendant.
