What breed are these

[Honeyduck]

I got these chickens a couple weeks ago and need help finding out what breed they are?

Look like black sex links to me.

Welcome to BYC! I want to say black sex-link although the chest feathering looks like their are specks of white/grey and not brown/red :/.

They look like mixes to me. Black sex link pullets, as Chicken Girl1 pointed out, would have red or brown and not white mixed in with the black. But these could be the product of a black sex link mother with some silver breed as the father.

Black Sexlinks most likely. I've been seeing more and more patterned like these the last couple years. I wonder what hatchery they are coming out of. And what breeds they are using.

I agree... black sex links.

Is it just my eyes or does the darkest bird at the bottom of the first picture have a pea comb?
