Australorp or Black Sex Link?

[MexiPanda13]

I got this chicken a few weeks ago and I was told that it was a black australorp chick. However now that it is a pullet I am beginning to believe that it might be a black sex link! I'm new at this and I honestly don't know how to tell the difference.



This is my chick when I first got her.



This is what she looks like now. Can you tell what breed she is?

Haha thanks! Oh darn! I was hoping it was an australorp! What can you tell me about black sex links?

Good solid layers of large brown eggs. I had one a few years ago that would lay and egg a day for 20 days, skip a day then start over.

Black sex link, they are very good layers, I get an egg a day out of mine.

Looks just like my black sex link. I was told I was purchasing an ameraucana bantam! LOL! Somehow I ended up with this sweet girl.

They lied to us! Haha oh well still beautiful birds!

Aw, yes.. it's a black sexlink. If it's any consolation they are the sweetest and most friendly of my flock.

UPDATE: Oh nooooo! I went outside to check on my chicks and they are all dead! This is a very sad day indeed! Just bought a 50 pound bag of food and hay, and just made their coop! Going to have to start all over... :'(
