Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. You have some great breeds (technically Red Stars are not a breed but a hybrid). Red Star is one of a number of labels under which some hatcheries market their Red Sex Links which are laying machines. You should get loads of large, brown eggs with those six girls.I have 6 red star hens and 1 French black copper maran hen. I also have a French black copper maran rooster.
) And speaking of eggs, in my personal opinion, the chocolate eggs of the Marans are the prettiest eggs in the chicken world. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
welcome to BYC !!

Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
