Hello there, and welcome to Backyard Chickens! I am so glad you joined us, and I am sure you will enjoy it here! Please make yourself at home!
Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you. Actually, those birds appear to be Black Australorps. Black Sex Links will have a collar of red on their hackle and breast.
G’Day from down under taylors729 Welcome! Congratulations on your new feathered family and that always special first egg. You might want to say hello on your local thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you ‘Find your State’s thread. I hope you enjoy BYC. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
If you just got the birds, they may still be adjusting to their new surroundings and it will take a while for them to settle in. Change isn't easy for chickens, just give them some time. It does appear that you have BA's as QueenMisha said (maybe it's the photo?) but those are a very popular breed and they should be good layers given time. Good luck to you!
I am glad you joined us! Yes, you have 5 beautiful Black Australorp hens! I hope you enjoy BYC, best wishes!
