Considering they called them black chicken, brown chicken, etc. I'm sure they are probably production hybrids, which go by many names for similar or the same thing. There are a number of proper breeds, but they aren't what typically produces your food unless you have a hobby flock and you can stock a hobby flock with genuinely anything.
I have Blue Jersey Giants, Dominiques, and Russian Orloves in my flock, as well as some random layer mixes which I got a red hybrid, two white leghorns, two blue andalusians, and more I haven't identified. It's a shame they didn't have anything ornamental like silkies or polish.
As for the evil chicken, I can believe it is based on the Ayam Cemani, but everything including the comb is black on them so the black chicken itself is just a normal chicken. As for the golden chicken, like the evil chicken, I am hesitant to say it even is based on a breed but there are some really pretty light buff colored chickens. One I really like the look of are the Salmon Faverolles.
