Cool, the wifey looked up red star on wikipedia and she looks exactly like the picture!

Thanks so much!

Are they good layers as a breed? I got some learning to do!

I was wondering if it was just me!!

If she does, I'd say Easter Egger. . . They do often come in this color, but usually on males.

Not sure about the beard but she is a little fluffy at the back of her beak. I will try and get a better pic tomorrow.
