Does anyone have a Blue Star and is it as crazy as mine??

[sybonbon]

Hi everyone. This spring I was itching to get more chicks so my husband and I stopped into a local saddle shop which displayed a sign BOGO free. When I walked in I saw chicks 2 weeks old that needed to be cleared out in time for the new shipment to come in. I was instantly attracted to the blue chicks which I was told Blue Cuckoo Marans. Then there was one lonely lighter blue chick all by itself. It was the last of a New variety, A Blue Star. I asked what the breeds were that made her and I was told a Barred Rock and an Australorp. I am not a breeder and I don't care where she came from, I just wanted to get her for a wait and see experience. My Marans are growing up beautiful and calm just like another Marans I have. The Star is the quirkiest personality I've ever had. She darts here and there, darts directly at the others to face off and screams bloody murder if I touch her. She also flys very high and far. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a bird mixed like her and are they similar in personality? TIA

Yes she does. Wow. Tell me about her. How old, personality.

Shes right at 20 weeks old. Quite flighty but also the first one to run up to me when I go into their run. Extremely curious and very brave to a certain distance lol. Very "darty" like yours! And heaven help if I touch her, you would think she was dying

Here’s some pictures of my old blue stars (sapphire gems- they are the same thing, right?) They we’re very friendly though, except the one in the first picture. She acted more like your girly.

All 3 laid today. I think I have a Blue Andalusian

Any updates?

Lulu(aka Lily) is a Blue Andalusian for sure. She's a very sweet girl who lays lots of egg. She's fun to watch because she never sits still. Her egg is never in the same place when she lays it. I say she just runs around and it just drops out. Lol she's quiet unlike her 2 flock mates who are Blue Cuckoo Marans. Marans are the noisiest. She had her first molt this year and hasn't started up laying again.

She looks almost identical to my Blue Andalusian...

Glam girl loves her photo taken. Lol

Honestly my black stars are the boss of the flock. My andalusians stay in the background.

I went to Meyer website and did an online chat. I showed them her photo. They said she's a Blue Andalusian. Lol.

This is my girl I had bought as an easter egger. But she look more Americauna

Her earlobes change from almost white to red depending how excited she is. Also the intensity of the color of her comb. No eggs or squatting yet.
