What the heck is Brenda?!

She looks like a black sex link. They have dark combs sometimes. It will most likely change when she gets to laying.

Can someone tell me what breeds are crossed to make a black sex link, please?

Usually Rhode Island Red rooster with Barred Rock hen. Male chicks are black with white barring (like their mother), female chicks are black with no white barring. Both sexes tend to show some red feathers in various places as they grow up.

Hello!! We think so to! I have not heard of that breed, but can see that as well! Her feet/legs are black as well. So excited to see what her eggs look like!

Have you googled Ayam Cemanis yet? They are fascinating, very unusual birds! Everything about them is black, even their meat and bones.
