BLACK_Silkies, Cochins, Black Japanese, Black Rosecomb, Black Australop, Black Giants, Black s*x-Link, Games,

Answer 2

Black chickens: Black s*x-Link, New Hampshire x Barred Rock, Barred Plymouth Rocks

Red Chickens: Shaver Red s*x-Link, Road Island Red, R.I.Red x Columbian Rock

I've had all of these chickens before and they are all hardy, healthy, attractive chickens, but my favourite would have to be the Barred Plymouth Rocks males.

Answer 3

My Daddy has had red chickens that were Rhode Island Reds.  He had black and white ones that were Domineckers.  He also had red chickens with black tails that we called Game Chickens.  Hope I helped at least a little

Answer 4

Rhode Island Reds are the best known, I believe.

Edit: the colourings of chickens can vary widely even within a breed, so it might be tricky to get the exact markings you're looking for.
