Black Stars are a hybrid chicken.

We use a Heritage Rhode Island Red Rooster and a Plymouth Barred Rock Hen to produce these wonderful hens. These are sexlinks and the sexes are easily distinguishable at the time of hatch.

We have 2 types, one which is mostly black with red neck and sometimes chest. The other is mostly Red with black running through her neck, chest and wings. Both will mature out between 5-6 lbs.

These birds are extremely hardy and are excellent layers of large brown eggs.
