Hi everyone!
Thanks, PepsNick, for showing me this thread.
Just thought I would say I have 5 Red Star hens, and a Red Star/RIR mix rooster. All the hens are about 2 years old now, and the rooster is almost one year old. They live among many other chicken breeds, too. They are all so friendly and I love Red Stars because of their simple, yet gorgeous coloring and they lay so many large, delicious eggs. Although for me, right now, all of the Red Star hens are molting and the cold weather has set in, so there haven't been any eggs in a while now.

My first hens that my family got back in 2007, that were the start of my family's chicken-raising:
Peach: (peeking out from the nest box)
Apricot:
And, just to add in Seth the Black Jersey Giant rooster, who was also one of the first roosters we had (Marty the RIR is also one of them):

Cinnamon the Red Star, when she was younger:
Cinnamon's 1st egg!
Linda the Red Star, when she was younger:
A picture of the four pullets from two years ago: two Buff Orpington pullets on the left (Setherina and Caramel), and the two Red Stars, Cinnamon and Linda, on the right.
A picture from last year, just before winter hit: (left to right: Linda in the far back, Cinnamon in the middle, and Marty the RIR rooster, 3.5 years old, closest)
Juno, the RIR/Red Star mix rooster, when he was a chick:
Baby chicks in their brooder box: (I can't really tell who they are, but probably Cinnamon and Linda)

(left to right: Abby, Marty the RIR, Cinnamon, and Suzy the Red Stars...though Suzy is a Red Star/RIR mix, like Juno...and yes, as you can see, poor Marty lost all the points on his comb (and most of his toes) due to horrible frost bite that he got last winter.

Cinnamon:
Juno: taken last summer, now that he's all big and grown up.
Cinnamon and another hen, not sure who, are running away in the background...lol
And that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
