They actually don't have a brownish tint - it's a trick of the camera - probably because of the red lamp I have on them.

Now that I see the picture, yours are much darker than my little black chick was. The legs are even much darker. They still could be the same thing, but I don't think they are. They are pretty chicks, whatever they are. You may just have to wait and see how they look after they start getting feathers.

Well, for now, the consensus seems to be BSL pullets. Keep us posted and we'll see if we were right. Sometimes, it's more a matter of "I don't know what it is, I just know what it ain't!" LOL.

I also think they are Black Sex-Links.

This is awesome. I have a bantam chick that looks just like your chicks. Here's hoping she is a she and a black sex-link as well!!!

I am now addicted to bantams and will probably always have a few from here on out.

Heck, I tried to tell the feedstore personnel that they had a bunch of dead and dying chicks in their bin last week. Were they interested? NO!!!

I visited our local TSC last week and asked what types of chicks were in their bins. They had no clue. All the sign said was "assorted straight run." It would seem like they would sell better if they had some idea of what types they had in there.
