That definitely was a very helpful link :)
I’m pretty sure that she’s a hybrid of a Starlight Green Egger because she had similar “face markings” as one of the shown chicks had, but she had darker down. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of eggs she may lay now that I think she may be a...
Hey everyone, we ordered a batch of chicks in late June and they’re just about 7 weeks old right now. I ordered all hens (assorted colored egg layer) through Tractor Supply (which then orders through Hoovers Hatchery). I’m just wondering if there was a sexing error in one of my chickens because...
Update: I truly have no clue what she was sick with, but I gave her extra calcium and electrolytes, and she seems to have fully recovered. She hasn’t laid an egg still, but I’m guessing that I should expect her to start laying again very soon.

Basically, 4 days ago she sat on her nest, and by the end of the day, there was no egg. I wasn’t scared...
