What is this one?

I'm sorry but there are many different crosses that can make a Black Sex link. A RIR rooster over a Barred Rock hen certainly is one, but there are many others.

You might look at Tadkerson's first post in this thread for information.

With that red leakage, it could easily be a Black Sex Link. It could also just be a mutt. Red chickens crossed with black chickens could look a lot like that, including the dark colors on the comb and especially dark beak and legs.

I cannot tell you what she is. If she came from a hatchery, I'd think she probably is a Black Sex Link since hatcheries usually don't have other crosses using black chickens. But if she came from someone's mixed flock, I'd be more inclined to think maybe a Black Australorp with some red chicken. Either breed could be mother or father.
