What am I?

[NanaKat]

Posting these photos because my FIDmom wants to know what breed or cross I might be.

I was sold to her at Atwoods as an Australorp chick along with 13 others just like me. We fooled everyone because we looked just like Australorp chicks are supposed to look...even down to the black legs. I'm 9 weeks old now and that's a NHR behind me. See my foot...it's still got that black skin thing going on.

I'm definitely not an Australorp!! Any ideas?

The second pic looks like one of my EE's but not exactly.

There are several EEs in our flock and they have pretty green legs and ear muffs.
I don't have green legs and neither do my sisters...at least we all look like girls.

what kind of comb does she have? if she has a single comb maybe she is a black sex link?

I think they both look like EE's. I've got a chick that I am expecting to turn out like your top one and my other chick is going to be much lighter and closer to your second one.

I'm not sure of the breed/cross, but she is very pretty!

cwhit590: All of us have a single comb!! Do sex links have pretty gold brown feathers on their head and chest? We also have irridescent black feathers that glisten green and purple in bright sunlight.

Aidenbaby: We are definitely not EEs. Mom has a rooster and several EE hens and we don't share any of their characteristics. None of us have green legs or any of the muff or beard feathers on our head.

vtsarahb: Thank you. Each of us have subtle color differences in our feathering on our head, neck, breast and wings. Our fidma thinks we are pretty too. She tells us every day.

Black sex-link hens

And yes, they can have as little as a few gold feathers on the chest, to as much as having an almost solid gold head and chest.
I also have a couple who have more orange-gold looking feathers than the yellow-ish ones as yours have. One of my hens looks like a clone of yours too

Black Sexlinks pullets. And that red chicken sure looks like a RIR rooster.
