Tractor supply ASIAN chicks

[kgilmore1]

Hopefully I can get some pictures soon! A few of mine are starting to look like barred rocks, some are still solid black, and one is getting an extremely fuzzy head almost like a silkie. So I have no clue what I have really.

It just occurred to me this morning when looking at the 10 chicks I have (in the guest bathroom, argh), that based on comb cover one of the chicks I had assumed is male and just a slower developer than the others that had white spots on their heads, instead is probably a BR female. If that's true, then the TS I got them at really mixed up anything and everything! The difference in comb color is very pronounced, and the barring on the small yellow combed one is more like a BR than the others.
I guess if I just wait and see, eventually it will be clear.

this is Asian that I got from tsc in march. At least I think it is. I brought Australorps at same time.

It's not an Australorp. I don't know much about the Asians TSC sells but almost all ones I've seen posted here look like Black Sex Links to me. Maybe when they get a bit older they'll look different.

Thank you. I thought that it was the Asian and the more solid blacks were the Australorps

Yes the solid black are Australorp...The Australorps usually have a touch of white on wing tips and once they get older their black has green sheen in sun

The Asian as chicks should've been mostly black with red on underneath chin. The Australorp chicks resemble penguin coloring

I have 8 Asian black chicks that are about 9 weeks old now. They do look very much like BSL chicks. They have the iridescent sheen that makes their feathers look green or blue in the sun. They are gentle birds, not aggressive at all that I have experienced so far.

I bought eight black asian chicks from TSC that are about 2 months old now. Most are solid black with the beautiful sheen, one has reddish brown mixed around the neck and several of them have white wing tips. The solid black ones look just like BSL but a few of them have white wing tips. Would they be Australorp with the white wing tips or do some asians have it too?
