Ok.. The one I am really curious about is Ebony. She's about 9 weeks or so by now, I guess..
She hardly has a comb at all. The guy I got her from said she is a Black Sexlink/Black Star.
Does she look like a Black Sexlink at that age? Her legs are really dark grayish.
She is black, with some rust red on her chest, and a lot of irridecant green feathers mixed in.
She's a great "big sister" to the younger chicks. She's cared for them like a mother hen,
since I got them. She was about 2 weeks old, they were a couple days.

Here she is...

These were originally supposed to be a Barred Rock chicks, as I was told when I bought them. lol
But, after posting them on here before, it was concluded they are probably Black Sexlinks...
Got a couple newer photos, thought i'd share them. Still looking like a little Blackstar pullet, and a Blackstar cockerel I guess?

This is my adult "Blackstar" Hen.... Should I expect Ebony, and the little one, to look like her in a few months?

I agree... black sexlinks. I have four of them myself and each one has a little different rust coloring. Some more than others.

I even have one that is broody right now... not really wanting her to be either but she is.
