Is she a BSL or a BA?

Here's a question I have, if BSL is RIR roo and BPR hen, both of them have yellow legs and beak. Your beautiful pullet has black beak and legs from what I can tell, and those characteristics belong to Australorp, or so I thought.

-- New to chickens, and I agree the neck feathering looks like BSL, but the legs, and the beak look like Australorp, IMO. Or maybe I'm just mistaken.

At anyrate, what a beautiful bird. If BSL then laying should start any day now.

Sex links can be made a variety of ways with different breeds. Here's a link to a topic on creating sex links. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=261208
Leg color, etc will all depend on what breeds the hatchery used to create their sex links.

Must be a BSL because it is not a BA

Awesome post!

Those are definitely Black SLs. They lay like gangbusters, enjoy them!
