What breed is this chicken???

[tomato lady]

Purchased this chick from the local feed store. I was buying Jersey Giants, but this little gal dosn't look like the others. I really don't care what she is, I just want to know what I have. Thanks.

Looks like my Black Sex Link pullets at about 6 or 7 weeks.

She's a pretty girl. I had no idea black sex links had all that gold in them. Do they retain it when they get older? I've got a red sex link and she's getting less "red" by the day!

That looks like her about a week ago, Codybird. She is a pretty one and I don't care that she is not a Jersey Giant.

Thanks.

Well I may be wrong because I am new at this chicken love affair... but I have six americaunas that I got at my local feed store that look alot like that... 3 are dark with gold and 3 are gold with some black ... good luck will keep checking I am now very curious too...

I have 6 BSL pullets and they run in color from almost total black to 1/2 gold and 1/2 black. All have some gold on the chest. As chicks they had a black head and black body. I could only see gold on one chick. I'm told the BSL roo's have a white spot on the head, hence sex-link. I'm surprised how good they look, since they looked like baby buzzards for awhile. They seem to get more gold as they age.

I can get a current ten week old pic if you want it.

OK since you begged me.

The two front ones are the extremes. Ten week BSL's.

They think the camera is food.

It looks like my black sex link girls. one of my 2 girls has just a little bit of red on her chest and I am not sure that my other girl has a single feather on her that doesn't have some red on it . . . . .

I'm no expert by far but I have to go with Ticker9400. I have 2 EE's that look just like that
