I hatched some eggs with my class this year and was desperately praying that they would all be hens. I only had 1 egg hatch and it was labeled as an Olive Egger. I soon discovered that our little Olive had the frizzle gene and an extra toe. We suspected recently that our Olive is an Oliver and...
Thank you for your advice. I've read a few posts about sinus infections but she doesn't have any symptoms. Her nostrils are clear. She's had it for about a week which is why I'm worried now. I figured if it was a bug bite then it would have gone down by now. It hasn't changed at all. It feels...
We noticed this growth above her eye the other day. Was hoping that it was an insect bite but it's still there with no change. Can anyone help me with this? Treatment? She is fine in every other way. It doesn't seem to bother her. I read somewhere about worms in the eye but did not see anything...

Hi everyone! I have a question year old sexlink that started acting strange yesterday. Usually when I open the coop all 5 girls go running out. She came out slowly walking. Then when I called themy in (they are trained on a clicker) she acted as if she couldn't hear. I had to physically go get...
This is Olive. I hatched her with my kids at school from a set of eggs ordered from My Pet Chicken. It was labeled an Olive Egger. We absolutely love her and are praying that she's a she. She is full of personality and has the craziest feathers!
I'll definitely keep you posted. Yeah her feathers appeared by day 3! I just found out about the frizzle last night. So excited! I thought maybe something was wrong with her.
Thank you for that information. Do you have a recommendation on a good quality layer feed? We give them Scratch and Peck right now. I am a bit of a non GMO and non soy, non corn, organic freak but I'm open at this point cause she's driving everyone crazy.
I am having trouble attaching pics for some reason.
I hatched her in an incubator with my class. I got the eggs from My Pet Chicken. Unfortunately she's the only one who hatched. I'm praying that she's a pullet. Definitely has a lot of personality. She is a pretty vocal chick and cries if I...
Our Buff Orpington has been broody for months now. Honestly she seems kind of crazy. We can't have more chickens here so we can't let her actually sit on eggs. Since she's screeches at everyone our egg production from the other girls has declined. How do we get her to stop? Is there anything we...
My olive Egger has unusual feathers. I'm only a second year chicken owner and my other girls didn't have feathers like hers. Is this normal? They are kind of curly
Hi. I decided to try incubating eggs for the first time with my preschool class. I got a Rite Farm Product #1200 for my class. The instructions are limited. I really want my eggs to hatch. I know you put them pointy side down but I'm unclear on whether I need to turn my eggs in this. It...
Hi everyone! I just adore my small flock of 5 girls and want to share this amazing experience with my class. I got approval to hatch some eggs from my director. Anyone know where I can get fertile eggs for cheap that I can pick up in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California?
Thanks...
