    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.

    Oh my! I only have one left from Hilltop, but the last one who died sounded like sh ehad a respiratory infection. I certainly hope my others do not get it. What Should I watch for? I'm new to this.

    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.

    Yeah do it quickly. Find a better local place to order and purchase from all of their chicks are sick.

    No I did not. I considered sending a link to the string but figured she would t read it anyway. But that’s a fantastic idea.

    i did report them to NPIP last evening. Here is the email address to report to. 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. [email protected]. this is the person to...

    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...

    I got some from a local breeder, but mine seems to be lost in the mail. I have about 1/4 gallon left so I'm hoping it's enough until mine comes.

    Is anyone close to Orange? I ordered Corid for my babies and there is a shipping delay...ugh. I'm guessing the package is lost since it was in ontario yesterday. I have about 1/2 G water to get me through. I just need 1/2 tsp to make another g of water.

    How are these people allowed to sell sick chicks?! I have reported Hilltop Farms to the Sick Bird Line and they are following up.

    I ordered a Lavendar Ameracauna but never got it! They substituted with a Lavendar Orpington. Do you have a suggestion of where to order from? I spoke to a very helpful, kind and knowledgable man at My Pet Chicken this AM. I was thinking of them. I also looked at Dare to Dream, but they...
