    So wrong! I am so sorry! I only have one Hilltop lady left, and she seems healthy, and is growing at a normal rate. IT's criminal what this establishment is doing to people's flocks!

    Thank you! What a beautiful hen! I don't see anything like that, but the description is perfect. I sure hope you find a way and that this dishonest businessman did not infect your entire flock.

    Beware about Hilltop farms

    I too, lost my Ameracauna. I'm so sad. I had originally ordered all different types of Ameracaunas from them, but they could only deliver two regular Ameracauna. Now, both are gone, my lavendar Orpington is gone as well, and all I have left from Hilltop is an olive egger. So disappointed.

    I now only have 1/5 chickens alive. I lost one Monday morning. She sounded wheezy on Sunday afternoon. I'm so frustrated with this situation, but honestly, I don't want replacements from Hilltop at this point. It's too heartbreaking.

    Hilltop Farms?

    If you do end up with chicks from them feed medicated food and Corid with your chick boost or whatever you are putting in their water. It saved my last two but 3 died before I figured out what was going on.

She said that she can let them know of the issue and discuss concern but she can't shut them down, but maybe collectively, we can save others this unfortunate end by reporting.

    Sure he will...I think he's just saying things now hoping someone will believe him. It's very sad, indeed. He could at least say "Hey we've got a coccidiosis issue here and we are doing the best we can I can send you home with what you need or i can cancel your order," but my guess is, from...

    So, I finally got an email from the elusive Patrick. I wish I knew how to post images, but basically he said that my chicks died because I use a brooder plate instead of a heat lamp! He said that "they are used to heat lamp and don't know how to use it so pass for getting too cold." Then he...
