    Sick chicken- please help!

    I have a barred rock who has been sick going on 4 days now. She has been laying down and won’t walk very often. She is eating and drinking (although not as much), and is having light green poops. Her comb is bright red. She has been on a break from laying. We are in Texas and it was very hot so...

    Poopy Eggs

    I have a hen who is lays a poopy egg almost everytime she lays. She still lays almost daily. She’s also gassy. If you pick her up she will let out gas. None of my other chickens have had any of these problems. I regularly put ACV in their water. She seems happy and heathy. No signs of parasites...

    Did you ever figure out who was laying this speckled egg? I have one laying a speckled egg, and wonder if it’s my Brahma also.

    Could this be a roo?

    Update! He is officially crowing! It’s the cutest thing. We are so sad that we’ll have to rehome him. If anyone is in the Austin, TX area and is interested let me know!

    Could this be a roo?

    I’m so sorry! I will never order from them again. It was traumatic for my kids when we opened the box and saw one dead and the others looking like they were about to die. We have two left from that order and it looks like this one is a roo. We will have to re-home which would be devastating for...

    Update- Does everyone still think this is a cockerel? She/he is about 18 weeks. No crowing yet.

    Easter egger roo?

    Could this be an Easter egger roo? She/he is about 15 weeks. We have a 15 week old rooster and this is the only other chicken will will go head to head with him.

    Could this be a roo?

    Hey Everyone! I got some chicks from Hilltop Farms, and had a horrible experience. This is one of them. She’s supposed to be an olive egger and about 10 weeks now. Her comb is way larger and more red than the others at this age. Could this be a roo? I also received the wrong breeds of some of...

    Yes that’s the one I’m talking about. Was hoping it was the australorp but I think you’re right.

    Black australorp chick?

    Hey everyone! I received some chicks today from Hilltop farms. One unfortunately was dead. Two of the ones I ordered were a black australorp and also an olive egger. Can anyone else me identify this chick? It’s either the australorp or olive egger. Thank you!
