Hoping someone can help me out. A few weeks ago I asked what breed of chickens I have here. No one could tell me for certain, had many opinions (ThankYou everyone), but now they are a bit bigger, so I thought I would ask again. Does anyone

have any ideas?
 
Black Australorps is my guess they look like mine, but the light brown in them is questionable. Mine have a dark red in with the black and green. Pretty birds.

Black australorps are completely black when full grown, no bronze. I don't know for sure what they are... they look similar to my black copper marans without the feathered feet, or black marans...

Hard to tell from the photo, but they look like they have lacing on their breast feathers?
 
My best guess would be an Australorp cross of some kind, though black copper marans also crossed my mind. They don't look like a purebred of any breed that I easily recognize.
 
The problem with black sex-link is that at least one of them looks like a rooster based on it's tail feathers. A black sex-link roo would not look like that.
