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

Could that be what this too is? I've gotten so many could be replys but he looks a lot like your photo

What kind of comb does he have? I can’t tell once I zoom in. It does look a lot like mine but mine looks “meatier”. I uploaded a more recent photo from just a few days ago. He lost his sickle feathers for some reason so don’t mind that..

Yours also looks to have whiter/pink earlobes where mine are all red.. also yours seem to have all dark legs and mine have some yellow peaking through

They def look similar but not the same. A few differences I see... very minor but enough to not think they are the same breed. Maybe ours share one of the two same breeds to make these birds

I have 3 young hens. They started laying around 24 weeks, rarely miss a day, and lay extra large up to enormous duck egg sized eggs. One lays an average colored brown egg, the others tend toward pinky brown, almost plum, some with darker specks.

Mine were pretty nasty until they started to lay, much better now. Average. Heavy bodied and lazy.

Here's 2 of them today, 11 months old. Don't mind Bruno the cochin roo trying to crow the paparazzi away.

Edit to add that I totally buy that Langshans were used in this breed. They sometimes lay eggs with a plum bloom.

I picked up 6 "Black Sex Link" Pullets at TSC back in March...ended up with 4 cockerels and 2 pullets... parted with 3 of the cockerels. My pullets started laying last week! Here's my boy...looks like he's an Asia Black not a BSL!

He’s most certainly an Asian black! I ended up with 4 pullets and 2 cockerels around the same time frame. Mine also just started laying! About 2 weeks ago.. I kept both of my cockerels but one of mine is a jerk so
