Australorp or Black Star? Either way, not an Americauna!😂

Hi everyone!
I got 7 chicks about 4 weeks ago. 3 of them were supposed to be Americaunas, but now I’m not so sure. They have oily black feathers on their backs, black legs, white skin, their combs are a mix of black and pale, and their chests/backs they have some red/brown feathers coming in? I believe they may be black stars, or black australorps? Regardless of their breed they are loved! If anyone has a better idea of what they might be it would be greatly appreciated! I’ve attached some pictures below, hopefully that helps if the description missed anything that might be key!

Not australorps. They're 100% black feathered...well, hatchery stock sometimes has a few random white tips that get lost during juvenile moults. They also have white skin.

Australorps wouldn't have any brown on the feathers. Black sex links, of which Black Stars are a variety, generally have reddish bay eyes, and these have dark eyes. They could still be black sex links, but also could be some other hybrid. I'd keep an eye on them.
