red star

So I'm pretty new at this. I order 6 chicks (hens) from Murray Hatchery, which was great. However what I received is unclear. thought maybe someone can help me identify which birds these are. it order was for 2 Red star, 2 whiting true green, and 2 Rhode island red.

All right, we are still about roughly 4 months out till our ducks and chickens will start producing. We have Silver Appleyard Ducks, Red Star, and Bielfelder. The chickens seem to be making little nest where they lay in the coop. I'm wondering if they're practicing OR they are actually closer to...

We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?

My four girls.

I've been lurking around this site for quite a while, figured it was finally time to get an account! Anyways, I have a suspiciously rapidly developing baby. I know they're not supposed to start laying until 20wks, but she's at 14 and a half and already has a much more developed comb and wattles...

Hi, I currently have 8 red star and 2 black star chickens, all of which are about 4 months old. They stay in the coop at night, and in the run during the day. I give them 16% layer feed crumbles, fresh and clean water every day, and they have everything they need as far as I can tell. Recently...

Hello all, Nervous Newbie here! We got our girls just about a week ago. They are 18ish weeks old Red stars. I’ve been going in daily with treats having them become comfortable with me. They are picky about their treats and won’t always eat from me. I’ve picked each of them up a few times. We...

On of my Red Star Chicks, Jeff, didn't want to socialise with her sisters and when I propped a little mirror up in the brooder she went right to it and would sleep next to her "mirror friend." They're 6 weeks old now and she still checks on her mirror friend in a much bigger mirror!

One of my Red Star chicks, Jeff, thinks she is a parrot. When I open the crate the girls are in until the weather clears so they can start staying out in the coop, she immediately flies out and sits on my shoulder, head, or climbs on my back while I clean to "survey."

This thought just crossed my mind. I have 12 -- oh wait, 11 now :hit -- Red Sexlinks and I was wondering if there was a difference between Red Stars and Red Sexlinks and what it is.

Our school hatches chicks every year, this year I had the joy of teaching in a room with some chicks and was fortunate to have a good batch in our room. We only had 1 that had a very difficult time hatching and at lunch day 2 I helped the little chick out. When the kids went home for the year we...

I’m the happy mother hen to 20 fluffbottoms who will be 4 weeks old in a couple of days. I purchased the Ornamental Layer baby chick assortment from Murray McMurray and have been trying to identify several of the breeds. So far I have identified for certain: 1 buff laced Polish 1 gold laced...

I was given 2 Red Star pullets about 4 years ago. So I had also just gotten 2 other youngsters, 1 Barred Rock Rooster, 1 Barred Rock Hen and the 2 "Redheads" I named Ginger & Lucy. All 4 were pretty close in age, they got along well and my handsome Roo was such a gentleman, always giving the...

I think someone already started a thread like this, but I couldn’t find it! Anyway, I have 3 hens (after a predator attack a few weeks ago took out my other hens) one black star, one red star, and one polish. I used to have two polish that would be picked on, but there were two of them and it...

Need help! My red star, Mrs. Featherbottom, has been acting off. She was producing her usual enormous eggs, then April 15 stopped laying and eating normally, and began acting lethargic. I treated the flock for worms and added Corid to their water on the advice of my vet. She perked back up. A...
