Is she a BSL too?

I got 6 BSLs (or so I think) from our local feed store. The girls are 19 weeks old. The mostly black one (she has a little bit of copper on her chest) "Blackie" has a much smaller comb/wattle development and it seems to be black and not red. She is pretty large though compared to other others so I started to wonder if she perhaps was a similar looking breed. I know the store had black australorps at the same time I bought mine but I looked up pictures of chicks and they didn't seem that similar to me. I took 3 pics of "Blackie" and one of "Goldie" for reference. They are a little too curious right now so I distracted them with corn but I couldn't get a close up pic of her face because they would start pecking my face.

Black sexlinks are a cross breed, and because of that, there can be a lot of variation among them. Some will have just a little bit of gold, others might have a lot of gold.

Yep I certainly know they are a cross breed and can look very different. I also know not every chicken develops at the same rate. My reason for questioning was more about her comb/wattle development and color. Thanks!

Looks like a Black Sex-link to me.
