Can black Australorp chicks be all black?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I bought some day-old chicks yesterday that were reportedly black australorp.  The are solid black.  All of the pictures that I have found on-line of black australorp chicks are black with white/cream/yellow markings.  I'm thinking that these might be black sex-link instead.  Any way to tell?
