What breed is Shadow?

[AppyChick77]

I got Shadow and Storm from Rural King this spring. They were both supposed to be Black Asian Pullets. As they grew, Storm got larger than Shadow. I believe Storm is a Black Asian breed, but what does that make Shadow? She is very curious and friendly. I would love to get more of whatever she is. They both produce a brown egg but Storms is much larger, darker, and more oval than Shadows.

They look like black sex links.

The sexlinks I have met in person are still larger than Shadow though

They are hybrids, so size can vary a bit.

Black sex links. I have 20 BSL pullets right now, all same age but vary in size.

I have two Black Sex-link hens. This is Poe. She is a small lady and significantly smaller than her sister who is the same breed. I have 4 Black Sex-link roosters too. They are beautiful and also vary in size.

Your ladies look like Black Sex-links. The red around the neck and green sheen of the feathers are key characteristics. Mine are super sweet ladies and awesome egg layers too!
