Black Sex Link, or Not??

Bought 2 BSL pullets that are now around 5 weeks. The one is staying black, but this one is a different story! It is getting lots of goldish brown. What is it??

Black sexlink pullets often have a lot of red or brown mixed in. Some come out looking like they have red breasts, and some come out really "muddy" looking

Here is one of mine when she was growing up:

Wonderful! Thanks for the reply. All the ones I have seen just have a brownish breast. Thanks.

Here's one of my BSLs

There was a recent thread like this, the chick was more brown than yours but less than mine. Seems to be an uncommon but not unusual variation.
