Help identifying my black beauty

[Michibun]

Hello! My mother has had Black Beauty for years. Someone gave the chicken to my mother. The chicken is a great layer and very intelligent. She's in her golden years, still laying, and a very loved pet. We would love to raise more of her breed but we don't know what type she is. She lays large olive color eggs with very large yolks, so we are assuming she might be a mixed breed due to egg color. Hoping someone can help us identify the breed or mix of breed! Thank you in advance!

I was going to take a guess, but decided to research slightly more.
Was going to go Black Australorp, crossed with EE. But now I think the black genes may be from Black Copper Marans. I seen quite a few pix of BCM, without feathered feet as well.
The comb is close to the EE style.
Be aware that there may be other chickens in the mix of genes.
Found this, and it is interesting info.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
