About the Self Black Old English Game
The self black is a uniform solid-black bird, ideally with a lustrous green sheen, carrying no contrasting markings anywhere in the plumage. Listed among the Carlisle colours, it shows the breed's tight, muscular build in a single colour and is the patternless, all-over form of black in this ancient British game fowl.
