Hello everyone!
I bought this chicken as a baby from Ideal Poultry in Texas, it is 4.5 months old now. I bought this chicken as a Blue star, a cross between a blue Australorp and barred Plymouth Rock. This chicken does not look anything like the other blue star I received. This chicken is much darker then the blue star, it sometimes has the green glint of an Australorp in her feathers. The comb is also much bigger and flopped over.
Yesterday I collected and new egg, it was creamish in color and came from the box I saw it setting in a few hours earlier.
I am lost as to what type of chickens she is. She has white feet.
Would appreciate any thoughts as to what type of breed she is.
Thank you.

Maybe they subbed in a black star? I know BSL usually have red around their neck but I have one who is all black.
 
If it's a cross between a blue Australorp and barred Plymouth Rock then I'd assume the cross is for sex linking..
Female offspring have a 50% chance of being blue and a 50% chance of being black.
It's quite common that when you're buying blue varieties there's a chance of getting black birds also.
