Common Black pullet? (Australorp cross - not a sexlink)

[Caddy-Corner-Chick]

The dot reminds me of my Barred Rocks, but they don't have a coppery color in the wings... She is cute, I hope it's a she for you

Thank you!!

I emailed the hatchery that she originally came from, and they confirmed she is definitely NOT a sex link! She's an Australorp cross. Can't wait to see how she turns out!

*Photo Update! I have some photos taken of her today, she is getting a lot more bronzey gold feathering now.
How she is supposed to be "a lot like an Australorp", as the hatchery says, is beyond me! lol
I did go back and get another one like her, and two tiny velvety black chicks that were in the same bin!
All are supposed to be "Comm. black pullets".

...If she is in fact an Australorp cross, any idea what she could be crossed with?
Is this coloration considered lacing, barring or..?

Im keep a eye on this thread! Your black chick looks identical to the ones I bought at my Tractor supply. Labeled the same too.

How old is yours?

Following along with great interest, as I apparently have 4 of the same TSC "mix". Interesting.

A side comment. These little buggers, whatever they turn out to be, are the most aggressive chicks I have ever brooded. Can jump and fly like nobodies business too!

Here's one of mine that has the most of the copper/bronze. Mine is obviously a week younger than yours. Head is also turning bronze.
That's a little BR next to it.

What hatchery are they from?

I wonder if she's EE?

 

[Sunshyne276]

Are they?? Mine is very passive so far! lol
I sure what love to know what the mix is.

Very pretty, yep reminds me of mine for sure! Except, mine already had the bronze color on her head/face.
She had a bronze, or well more of a mahogany shade around her eyes from day 1.
I have one close to the same age as yours, too. I went back to get another one like her! lol
Also ended up with two that are suppose to be the same "breed", or cross,
but they are smaller and almost solid black with white spots on the wing tips.
