    First timer here. Please help

    I bought my first chicks from tractor supply, we were supposed to have 3 Brahamas, 2 cinnamon queens and 2 starlights. I think I may have only gotten one starlight but I’m honestly not sure. I’d love some help identifying them if possible. Also any clue to how old they may be? I’ve had them for...

    Starlight Green Egger - Rooster or Hen?

    My Starlight Green Egger, Buttercup, is 10 weeks old. I bought her from Tractor Supply and they were labeled as a “Premium Pullets, sexed chicks.” Since a chick she’s always been more aggressive and pecking at all the other hens. With the aggressive behavior and her comb growing larger/redder...

    Odd hen behavior?

    I have a couple hens that, when I approach them, squat down, spread their wings slightly, and almost do a little dance with them stomping their feet. One of them is newly laying and the other just came of age. Is it fear or defensiveness?

    What are some things YOU guys love about your chicken breed?

    I have 5 Starlight Green Egger hens, and while I feel like there isn’t too much information about them, here is what I absolutely love about them as a first time chicken owner. - I have never had aggression come from these chickens. Not even my rooster (who went to a farm). I’ve never felt like...

    SGE with weird tail feather?

    I have a SGE with what looks like a weird, Lightning McQueen looking dual tail feather thing going on. None of her other flock members have this. Normal or no?

    Does anyone else’s SGE have this plumage on the top of their head?

    I have two that have these tufts on the top of their heads. The rest of the flock is the same breed from the same place. Normal or no lol?

    Is my chicken sick?

    I don’t have the experience yet to discern a perfectly healthy chicken from a slightly lazy one, and I’m worried one of my girls is sick. She tends to stay behind in her coop when I let the rest of her flock out to free range for a while, she has been having weird, yellow, foamy poops, eating...

    Would starlight green eggers take baby chicks as their own?

    I’m a brand new chicken owner with my first flock of chickies. I bought 6 SGEs from Tractor Supply, and I think they’re thriving well. I am planning on getting a few of them butchered to make room for some more chickens (per my city’s regulations) and I was wondering: if I introduce new baby...

    My chick is sick and I dont know how to help her.

    I got a 4 starlight green egger from tractor supply about 2 weeks ago. Since then my one chick the smallest of the 4, has been having really liquidy brown poops.

    Is my starlight chicken a rooster?

    I have three starlight green eggers. Two of my girls have similar coloring and sized combs. My third starlight, Coconut, has white brown splash(?) coloring and a much larger comb. Coconut is also much more likely to square up against the other chickens but overall has a great temperament...

    Starlight green egger roo or pullet

    Here is my 10 week old starlight green Egger from rural king that was supposed to be sexed as a Pullet. I’m having my doubts. I have read that this breed does get their comb and waddles much faster than others. She/he is the Karen or Kevin of my flock😂
