a sex link is a chicken breed with 2 different types of chicken to be able to sex the chicks at birth black sex links use a female BR and a male RIR i think, and with red star sex link it is a rir and a white chicken. I have both black star sex link and Austrolps and the black sex link have red on their feathers where the Austrolops do not they are totally black. with slate legs hope that helps here is a pic of my austolop hope this help she has lost all the white on her face when she feathered out.

A sex link is a cross between 2 breeds that create a chick that is able to be sexed at hatch. The males will have a white dot on their head and feather in barred, the females will not have a dot and feather in black with brown leakage. Black sex links are usually a red rooster over a barred female.
