Black sex link with pea comb?

[Not-so Slick Chicken]

Chances are good it ended up in the wrong bin, and that it isn't a sex link.
If they were already a week old when you got them, it could have flown out of its original bin.

Woah, I didn't consider that. There wasn't another bin, though. There was a bin of teeny tiny bantams and then there was my bin, with rir, amberlink and Bsl. I hope shes a hen since she's probably considered straight run if she's not sex linked. Crossing fingers!

One more clue pointing towards Olive Egger!

Yessss I've always wanted an olive egger and if she does end up being a hen I'll be so happy!!!

Alright guys,
Here's an update!!!!!!!
I came back from a 2 week trip to this chick looking completely different from before. She's has beard and muffs!!!!!! AHHHHH! So it's almost definitely an Easter/olive egger. I'm so happy because none of my 4 Easter eggers are bearded. Gender guesses? I think hen and hope hen . Can't wait for eggs!!!!

Hi everyone!
Olive laid her first egg yesterday at 26 weeks 3 days old exactly! We were right!

I have been checking the nesting boxes every day in her little coop, with Fernando the silkie rooster, for so long. She is the only hen in that coop because she keeps wanting to eat other hens eggs before she started laying. So that's how I know these gorgeous olive eggs are hers. These are actually so beautiful and I've never seen an olive egg in real life! She's the first (I think) of her little group of 4 pullets I got at TSC to lay, as I expected. She is still by far the smallest, but she's not bantam sized. I think she's smaller than my standard sized Easter egger pullets still so maybe it was some kind of unexpected hatchery mix that just came out to be an olive egger. Anyways thank you everyone for putting in your guesses!

(The blue egg is from my black Easter egger Billy)

Congratulations! Those are such a lovely shade of olive.

To answer the original question, sex links  can have pea combs, bur the sexlinks from a hatchery are most likely to have single, or maybe rose (cinnamon queens i believe are a wyandotte cross), combs.
I have malines (single combed, barred) in with my buckeyes (pea comb) for the purpose of hatching sexlinked chicks. The chicks from this cross will be pea combed, since single combs are recessive to other comb types.
