Barred rock or sex link?

[RainValleyFarm]

I bought this chick from rural king as a barred rock but I’m definitely second guessing this. She looks to be a black star sex link to me? I know time will tell but just curious on your thoughts?

Not a Barred Rock. Likely a BSL like you said

Does she have a spot in her head?

I don't know what black sex links look like, but it doesn't look like any of my barred rock babies. it you're not happy, I would contact the breeder or farm store you got it at.

She looks almost blue to me.

That is definitely not a barred rock. Barred rocks have white patches of feathers on their heads, the tips of their wings, underneath their beak, and on their bellies. I don't know very much about BSL chickens, but I would say that's probably what it is.
