I recently got three new chicks from a friends friend... Two Rhode Island reds and one black chick... This black chick is almost completely black except it has a yellow belly. I was thinking black sex link but not sure could it be black astralorp, or barred rock? I was told they were all sexed as female if that helps.

Several breeds can be all black as chicks. Barred breeds have a white/yellowish spot on the back of the head. You'll have to wait till it feathers out. Than if you can get a picture of it standing , its legs, and a face shot which shows the comb. We should be able to help you.
 
the black legs may be an indicator of black minorca but its hard to tell at an age like that
 
most black or blue chickens have black legs

Looks like a Black Australorp or Black Sex Link to me. But as ramirezframing said, lots of chicks look like that. Wait until it gets most of its true feathers, then post more photos and try again.
