Yep, Black Star. Looked at photos, and that is what she is. Bummer, we were really looking forward to blue eggs!! At least we still ended up with a good breed.
Yeah, they wanted to do all the tests too, but I understood we only needed a check up, so I insisted on no test. A visit to our place by the vet would have been way better! And a little cheaper.
One other thing. We are still figuring out what to put in our run. We have our coop and run on a concrete slab. I think we are going to put down plastic in the bottom of the run and then put sand in there. I am afraid that it will be high maintenance to keep scooping out. Any other options...
