Can black Australorp chicks be all black?

[ronniegirl]

I bought some day-old chicks yesterday that were reportedly black australorp. The are solid black. All of the pictures that I have found on-line of black australorp chicks are black with white/cream/yellow markings. I'm thinking that these might be black sex-link instead. Any way to tell?
