Hi everyone, haven't been on here in ages. I got both Red Star and Black Star year before last and love them. The only thing I have noticed is they're terrible pluckers. Here's a pic of a red one, another red one's head and a black one next to the Plymouth Barred Rock. They're excellent layers and lay very large brown eggs, even larger than the Barred Rock's. They've layed all winter long for me as well. I have 5 of ea. Forgot to mention, I got them from McMurray and was very happy, all survived.
