Barred Rock or Sex link Roo

[ChickieMama13]

Tale as old as time! I ordered 15 little hens from an egg production pack from an online hatchery. They sent us 5 yellow, 5 brown, and 5 black and white. The only black ones in the egg production pack were advertised as Black Sex Link. The rest were either yellow or brown.
I'm hoping the hatchery made a mistake and accidentally sent us Barred rock hens, and not a bunch of Black Sex Link roosters...
They are currently 2 1/2 weeks old. Two of the black and white have distinctly shorter wings and tails, and they are more barred than the other three. They take charge, but I know hens can be bossy too.
So, Barred Rock, or Black Sex Link??
Or too young to tell?

Too close to call for me. I'd wait a few weeks and watch the combs. I find it difficult to believe the hatchery would mistakenly send 5 sex link cockerels with an egg production pack. More likely they substituted barred rocks because they had extras. They won't necessarily tell you when they do that.

Update!
I contacted the hatchery about 2 weeks ago, asking if there was a potential breed mix up.
They said they accidentally sent us 5 boys, and refunded us for the birds.
The chicks are now 5 weeks old, and we have one we are very sure is a rooster, the rest still have small combs and darker feathers. I'm assuming they are Barred Rock at this point.

So sweet! My mix up hen turned out to be an Easter Egger (we think). Here she is at a few weeks (?) and at 7 months. She was supposed to be a Chocolate Australorp

How interesting!
Yea I don't think Australorps have feathered feet, but Easter Eggers certainly can!
Has she started laying for you yet?

These are the same two pictured above in my update.
Definitely Barred Rock. Fun little surprises!
