If the comb and beak are black one one or a few, it is a possibility of it being black sumatras.... My black sumatra chick looked like an austrolorp chick.

Oh really..well I picked them out of a bunch in a brooder that were different breeds so it's possible I grabbed a different breed if they look a lot alike..I'll have to check but I think two with not much comb or none has all black beak but not sure if both had black comb but one deffinately did cause I could barely see the comb cause both wer black..I'll have to get in touch with that lady to and see if she had sum.I will try post a pic later of it..

OK... a picture will help
Last time I got chicks I actually picked out an austrolorp looking chick....
When I got home, since they were rare breeds grab bag, I decided to find out what they were. I ended up convinced I had an austrolorp for several weeks till she started feathering out, then wasn't sure what she was.... she's around 2 or so years old now and now I find out she's a Black Sumatra. They kinda look like crows in a way... so I call her crow.
Let me see if I have her chick picture handy for comparison...

Here's one of her now...

Here we go...
That's the only one I can find at the moment. She sort of looks a little like an austrolorp. Don't know how close the coloring is, but I was convinced
