What type of chicken looks like this?

[Broodygranny]

Hi everyone. I am new here, and I am just asking this for fun. My chickens are mixed breeds, but a lot of them look the same. They are about the same size as my brown legern hen. They are solid black, including their comb, feet, and beaks. They are crested. They are so cute! I would love to get a rooster that looks like them, but I have no idea what they are. My profile picture is my favorite one. Her name is velvet.

It looks like it could have some Ayam Cemani in it, but they aren't crested like yours is

They do have extra toes! What does that mean?

Silkies have extra toes. Your hens are probably the offspring of black silkies and some other breed. They're likely to go broody and (if you butcher) have black meat. (which is very weird.) It definitely explains the crests!

What is a brabanteer?

Thanks for all the replies. I have had lots of cool breeds to look up. If I buy hatching eggs off e-bay, I can blame you! Thank you!

Silkie mix explains the dark skin, extra toes, and the crest. Plus, they are way more common than Ayam Cemani or Svart Hona.

All black = fibromelanosis? Do any of them have extra toes? I'm thinking Swedish Black hen (svarthona) or silkie crosses with another breed. Could also be ayam cemani crosses, but those are pretty expensive.

Thanks for the replies! I will look into those breeds. I don't think I will be able to invest in an ayam cemani, although they are beautiful!

Looks like Svart Hona mix since the legs are not totally black
