How to tell black chicks apart

Sooo...we bought 3 "black australorps" from tsc, which also happened to have black sex links in the same bin. I obviously don't think the 1 bird in question of the 3 is a black sex link...but I'm not so sure it's an australorp either...he/she seems to be growing much slower than the other 2 & doesn't have head feathers yet like the other 2. I thought maybe roo? He has a black single comb! They're 6 weeks old. I know very little about Australorps, so any help is appreciated! First pic is of all 3, for size comparison. The next 2 are just the bird in question, and the last pic is of the chick at 2-3 weeks old. TIA!
