What is this hen?

[riccischickies]

A friend of mine gave me my first five laying hens. This one, I thought was an Australorp but now because of the red neck, I'm thinking it's a black sex link. You can't see the color on her neck in this picture though. Any ideas?

Looks like a Black Sex Link:

Thank you! That's what I was thinking but wanted another opinion from someone who knew more!

I am not totally sure but I have had them before. You are welcome!

Some sex links have only a touch of red on the throat. I do think that's what you have, she looks leaner than an Aussie.
