Sex Link? Or something else???

[iward05]

I bought two of what I thought were barred rocks at TSC. Turns out this one isn't a barred rock! Is it a sex link or something else. It looks too solid black to be a sex link to me but I can't really find anything else that fits either. It is right at 4 weeks.

Barred rocks have a white spot on their head. This might be a black sex-link pullets or one of several other breeds.

Dunno what it is, but black sex links can be solid black. I've bred a few, some totally black and others solid black with orange hackle (neck) feathers.

Most of my Black Sexlinks were solid black at that age.

Black stars don't have gray legs and feet.

It looks like a black austalorp.

Also is this a sex link cockerel or a barred rock pullet?

 

[sassysarah]

It is a barred rock pullet.
