What breed are my ladies?

[brynromero]

hello all,
I have two hens I purchased as chicks for my kids. One is 2 years old and the other is a year old. Both are black (have some green in the sunlight) with some red/gold feathers around their neck and breast areas. I thought possibly black australorpe, but I have two other black australorpe girls who do not have the gold at all. Any help on breed?

What color eggs do they lay?Light brown, dark brown?

If they lay darker brown eggs, they may have some copper marans in them.

I would say you have two beautiful Black Sex Links. I love the iridescent feathers.
