Sex Link or Midnight Majesty???

[Keyschicks]

One of these were sold to me as a Black Sex Link pullet and the other a Midnight Majesty Maran pullet but im not sure which is which?? Can anyone clarify?? Also, are they both in fact pullets? Approximately 4 weeks old give or take. Thank you

Not sure I have the news you want, but...

The solid black chick looks like a Midnight Marans pullet.

And the barred chick is a cockerel black sex link- if that's what you purchased.

One of each!

Look like healthy little fellas!

The MMM is the black chick. The BSL is the barred chick, and it's a cockerel

The black one looks like a MMM (feathered feet, black, marans coloring), the white barred one looks like a barred rock. Unfortunately it also looks like a cockerel. It's not super pink, but that's a significant amount of comb growth for 4 weeks. In a few more weeks it should be beyond doubt. Post again in two weeks if you're still not sure.

This is actually exactly what I have suspected, but was confused about the breed because I thought I remembered the girl at TSC saying the black sex link would be all black, but I knew from research that the all black one doesn't look like a sex link. Both were sold as pullets, but I have suspected the barred one is a cockerel instead. Thank you. There's no end to the learning for sure!

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

A purebred male barred rock would be lighter

Im thinking black sex link marans. I was sold some labeled as MMMs but as they have gotten older, the females are all black (no copper coloring on their necks) and the male was barred.
