Is this a black sex link?

In the 4th picture, one comb appears to be slightly larger to me, but neither look like my pullets that have already developed definite red accents. I'm concerned that they are neither BSL nor pullets. The breed is definitely not as much of an issue as the sex.

We have 8 chicks hatched from a ba rooster and 2 bsl hens and 1 ba hen and they are 10 weeks old today...the 3 boys all got there combs and waddles much faster. The one in the 4th picture does seem to have a larger comb than the others.

I have raised several black sexlinks as well. Nothing about this chick looks like a BSL. Also all the BSL i have raised have had a slight green/turquoise on back and tip of wing feathers that can been seen best is direct sunlight.

Thank you. That sort of confirms my fear. If it's not BSL, then no guarantee on the sex. Out of 5 black chicks, only 2 appear to be BSL. Out of 3 BOs, one died and one appears to be a cockerel. It's mean as a snake. So much for buying sexed chicks

Guys is this a black sex link? it is with 6 other ISA browns and 4 of the 6 ISA's are roosters

it is 8-10 weeks old now and is getting emerald colours through it.


Do you know what gender it is at least???

Boy too much red already in comb and waddles. To me it looks alot like a black australorp...can't really see any red in him from the pictures.
