    Which breed of rooster is this?

    I purchased black stars, black copper marans and midnight majesty marans from the feed store. One of them turned out to be a rooster. Could you please help identify what breed the rooster is? He is about 16 weeks old.

    The production and longevity of Black Sex Links?

    I bought some Black Star / black sex link chicks by mistake last year and while a little dismayed initially to not have come home with what I thought I bought, I warmed to them when I read that they are an F1 cross of two heritage breeds (Barred Rock x RIR). My primary interest is in...

    Black Star Adolescent-Male or Female?

    Is there anyone directly familiar with black star chickens? I ordered from McMurray hatchery in June. This chick was all black with no head dot. Is it possible that this is a hen? It’s a beloved pet, not just a temporary meat bird. I’m very reluctant to re-home it. Please help me identify...
