Seeking Info on new "Asia Black" Chicken "Breed"

[Pghelp]

This is a picture of my roo Vash. He was claimed to be one of these Asian Blacks. Anyone know if he looks like he is supposed to? Does he look like something else? I don't trust TS anymore because half of the chicks I got from them were not what they claimed them to be. And since this was my first chicken venture, I didn't know better :/


- just a couple days old

- About 2 months

- today at 7.5 months




Heh for what its worth the hen below him was claimed to be an asian black as well :/

He turned out gorgeous whatever he is! Have you considered that he night be a Welsummer?

Yes he looks like he is supposed to. I have 4 of them and there seems to be 2 types of color patterns with them. Iridescent black feathers with gold either on the chest or around the neck like a lions main and neck area. All the black ones are them.

I love my Asian Blacks. They are the best brown egg laying breed I've ever seen. Not that I've seen very many brown egg laying breeds. They seem to be really hardy so far. The best part is that their friendly. Of course like any friendly chickens they are very goofy and mischievous. Here's Raven. You may remember her from when she got stuck under a trailer.

This is Puff. She's the smallest, but her eggs are huge.

I have five other Asian Blacks but I don't have pictures of them because I don't usually bring my phone outside. Their names are Evie, May, Red, Maddie, and Holly.

The hens look like a black sex link.

The hens look like a black sex link.

Black sex links and Asian blacks often look similar. The difference is what breeds were crossed to create them and which breed was the father and which was the mother.

I have a few Asian Blacks. They seem legitement, both kinda the same, with black iridescent feathers. But one seems to have a different body shape/body build than the other...

i purchased 2 a few weeks ago and they look very different at 4 weeks old. One is larger that the other with a bit of red showing and the other has black skin and a 5th toe...i am curious to see how they develop and if they are what they were advertised to be...
