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...
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...
Hello,
I just recently placed my order for my first flock of chickens and figured it would be a great time to join! I have ordered 5 Sapphire Gem, 5 Starlight Green Eggers, and 5 Speckled Sussex so 15 in total that will be here by the end of February! I know 15 is a lot for a first timer...
Hello, all!
My Starlight Green Eggers started laying for me on Christmas!! Now, my Ameraucana roo just reached sexual maturity and has begun mounting my SGEs!
I do want to keep 4 more hens in my flock and I'd like them to be colorful egg layers, so, my questions are as follows:
1.) Is it too...
My hen just hatched 9 beautiful chicks. I know some will be roos and I already have three, one going to a nice home already. Their father is an absolute gentleman/gentle giant and their mother is a great layer. Mom and Dad both love 24/7 fallout radio. Message me if youre interested and I will...
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. It wasn't a lot but enough that I took notice. Recently she also pooped very clear liquid with this little red goey mass in it. And...
Everyone meet Regular Sized Roody. Roody is a starlight green and currently looking for a new home with lots of room to roam and some ladies to protect. He is currently just shy of 4 months old (15 weeks). Unfortunately he doesn't seem to like me, he charges me all the time, and has bit me(not...
I am having trouble finding a lot about Starlight Green Eggers (SGEs) or many pics of them. I come across a few here and there, but I think people including myself are really looking for more about them and want to see pics of what their chicks may look like as adults.
For that reason, I'm...
I went to Rural King here in Central KY and picked up some chicks, only to find that they were not what I thought I was getting. Does this sound familiar? I need help identifyng all 4 of these babies.
I'm actually somewhat pleased as these look so interesting. These first 2 pics are from the...
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...
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😂
I have had my baby chicks from Rural King for 13 days now and only JUST realized that the chick who is outgrowing the others by far might be a male.
He/she is a Starlight Green Egger, according to the sign, and is at least a third bigger than most of the other chicks. Big, thick legs and a bit...
Darcy and Wanda: Starlight green eggers, around 7-8 weeks. Darcy might be questionable?
Phoebe: Unsure on breed, around 4-5 weeks - possibly Easter egger? The lady said she had ameraucanas and Wyandottes and some mixes, so I’m guessing Phoebe is a mix… I’ve read about the triple comb meaning...
Hi, this is my first post here so hello!
I Have 3 chicks that I’m having trouble identifying. They all came from a store, so I know they could have different parents and be different ages, etc. There are 2 Starlight Green Egger and 1 Welsummer, I can’t tell which are which! :barnie Here’s what...
Purchased one prairie blue bell pullet (black) and one starlight green egger pullet (white and orange) from Tractor Supply who got them from Hoover Hatcheries. Are these actually PBB and SGE pullets? I think they're around 4 wks old, not sure how long they were in the store before I purchased...
Ok, I know some are starlight green eggers, the white are amber links. So we have sapphire gems and prairie bluebell- but how do I tell them apart? Also the one with the number 1 and a circle around it what is that breed? And the black ones with white… they were almost completely black except...
Hi,
I just got my first group of 11 hens and 3 rooster Jan 15. I had no idea how easy it is to be a 🤏🏽 Obsessed with chicks! My best friend and I decided to get chicks. A few died.. we bought them a day after we had a blizzard kinda chaotic. But we have 24 chicks and we’re not sure exactly...
Good Afternoon!
Backstory: I got a group of 15 chicks of various breeds this year. 12 of my 15 pullet-sexed chicks turned out to be roosters. When I contacted Hoovers, who supplies chicks to the store, they were quick to apologize and send new chicks of my choice. That would *definitely* be...
