Asian black? Black sex link

[Thechickenchick2]

curious what your chicks are now that they are older. I have a BSL that I am not sure is a BSL anymore.

And I will also note that I’m pretty positive you have a cockerel and a pullet there if you didn’t already assume

Hard to see them but I got Asian blacks from tsc, no one has information about them.

I got tricked by the "bsl" bin also, only got 2 and ended up with 1 pullet 1 cockerel. My pullet has the white barring on chest but is now getting a slight ring of gold on the back of her neck. She's kind of an a-hole, whatever she is.

I have a RSL that’s an a-hole. Do you have any pictures of them??

My gut is telling me that but I am hoping I’m wrong.

I assumes so. Just hate it. I went with BSL for a reason. Thanks for the info.

This was the roo about 8 weeks old, I rehomed him right after the picture was taken. Will grab a current pic of pullet in a second

Here is the pullet, 9.5 weeks maybe 10 weeks old

A few updated pics of mine, today, at 10 wks old. I ended up with 1 cockerel and 9 pullets.

I purchased four of the Asians from TSC this spring, all sexed pullets. They are not the same cross as a standard Black Sex Link. These have Langshan blood and who knows what else, and they don't appear to breed true. Some of mine are showing silver, some brownish red, one is all black. I'm not sure if they are sex linkable either, as half of mine are roosters. They appear to be just massive black mutts. I'm not too impressed with mine. I have some of the traditional Black Sex Link pullets that are the same age. They are smaller and calmer then the weird Asian hybrids.

Yes! I definitely agree that at least my RSL are much calmer overall. The Asian blacks are very flighty and don’t seem too sociable. I’m hoping that maybe over time and as they “grow into themselves” that might change. I do think the roosters are gorgeous though
