    Black sex link or Australorp

    I was told black sex link but I feel like the more pictures I see she looks like an Australorp. This is one of my three (teenagers I call them) Raven 🐦‍⬛ I do not care either way just wanted to see everyone else's opinion. I love the way she shines in the sun.

    What am I doing wrong???

    Okay, so I’ve been raising chicks for almost three years now. My survival rate for my chicks has always been high; I rarely lost a chick in the past 3 years, and I’ve raised so many. I just always put extra time and care into my chicks. But I don’t know where everything went wrong this time...
