I really wanted some blue’s in my flock so I got 4 chicks that were supposed to be Blue Star’s. All but one have feathered feet and the concensus is they are Marens. This one I think is a Blue Star which should be sex linked, but she is getting awful red. Please tell me that this is just how the pullets for this breed look. She is 7 ish weeks old

Blue Star, Blue Gem... that whole line is sexually dimorphic. So the cockerels have a cuckoo head and neck, and other parts of the body. The pullets have a solid grey/black/blue head and lighter grey/black/blue body.

So you have a Blue Star, just not the sex you wanted. Hopefully you wanted at least one roo!

I wanted one but I have been told my frizzle is also a Roo! I can’t have 2 with 7 hens 😢
