Ok i have a few chickens that look like a Black star(.The females are black with gold hackle and breast feathers.) Except these have like a silver stiped looking hackle and thier bodies are black and when the sun hits themit looks like some green and purple feathers are there and it is very pretty. Would anyone know what breed of Chicken this is? I dont have a picture right now. If you have any ideas please let me know!

Black Stars are not an actual BREED, so they can have all sorts of mixes in there. Maybe yours are just special.
 
Look up "birchen." Do they look like that coloring? They could be mixed breeds, or at least mixed colors of one breed with what you're describing, but it's hard to tell just from a description.
 
The combs look different on the two pictures. One looks like a straight comb, and the other looks like a rose comb. Could be wyandotte mixes.
 
Thanks everyone, someone told me they were Australorps but i had never seen one with the lacing like that so i didnt think that is what it was. I defintly can see the SLW mix in them now that you said that!They are very pretty chickens, was just wondering what they were lol.
