I ordered a Black Star (black sex link) and got her at age 2 days. She was black with some white on her chest and a slight bit of white on the wing area...smaller than the other black sex links in the bin but I chose her because she was so active.
Now at 12 weeks she is totally black with bluish green iridescence in her feathers when in the sun--very pretty. She has no sigh of "red leakage" in her neck feathers that I have seen on other black sex link hens. Also she has in the last couple weeks started "honking" --not a distressed sound, it seems to be just her way of "talking". Opinions anyone? She looks to me more like an australope but I'm pretty new to chickens so value others, more experienced opinions. Thank you!
