Pearl onyx vs zombie

[Crazyfarmlady25]

I've come across pictures of a pearl onyx which to me looks exactly like a zombie. I'm wondering if they are the same breed just recognized by different names depending on breeders or if they are different breeds? If different how do you tell them apart?

From what I found, they're both white Leghorn/Ayam Cemani mixes. I think Pearl Onyx is just the name Hoovers uses for their zombies. No way to tell the difference.

I believe Pearl Onyx may actually use Mystic Onyx in the cross. Mystic Onyx don't have any Cemani ancestry, they have Silkie ancestry. So that would be the main difference.

Can I ask why you think this? Just curious. Do we know the full genetic make-up of the Mystic Onyx? Cause otherwise it still doesn't really answer anything beside the fibro.

They say that the Mystic Onyx is a Silkie mix on Hoover's website.

Since one Pearl Onyx chicks on the website photos has a five-toed foot, they must have Silkie ancestry as well.
