Pros: Gorgeous feathers, consistent layer, friendly demeanor and gets along with other hens, curious and bold.
Cons: Took awhile to start laying
I mainly wanted to show off my beautiful Black Star, Amelia, who I obtained at TSC as a little chick earlier this year. I got her, another Black Star and 2 Red Stars at the same time and I must say that out of the chick broods that I've had (they were 3 of 4), they were the most docile to handle and adventurous group! At just 2 weeks, they were flying out of the brooder when it took my 2 older groups at least 4 weeks to start that. Unfortunately I lost 1 each of Black and Red to a fox, but Amelia and my remaining Red (Reba) have such great personalities and they are absolutely beautiful! Although she didn't start laying until around 30 weeks of age, she has been a consistent layer and her eggs are a lovely light brown. My friend who also has some Black Stars says she loves hers too! I would highly recommend this breed!
