Is this a black sex link hen?

Not the best pic...she is the one on the right - bottom. Thanks

She looks like one to me.......

Mine have always had a single comb (looks like yours has a different type) but other than that she looks like the ones I have had.

I think they are supposed to have straight combs. But that's not to say she is not, because she does look like one.
Is that a rose comb I see of is it just the pic.?
Would a RIR X Dominique create a sexlink? that could cause a different comb.

Ok...thanks. I was told when I got her that she is a sex link, but maybe she is a sex link mix. She lays a medium size light brown egg...daily.

Probably a young pullet and just started laying, because if she is a sexlink the eggs will be large to x large.

It sure would. Commonly, black sex-links are created using a RIR male and a barred rock female. But you could do it with a RIR male and a Dominique female. Any red male over a barred female will make black sex-links. (if they are both Homozygous)

Yup, Black sexie. Eggs will get bigger the longer she lays. May even be some doubles
