orpington bantam

I am new to chickens, I have a flock of 8 Orpingtons (2 x full size pullets, 1 x bantam cockerel, the rest are all bantam POL hens and younger pullets). I’ve done some research on the nutritional values of the feed I need to be giving my flock. Members on this forum prefer protein levels of...

What colors can I breed with a blue rooster? I’m still building my Orpington flock and he’s young, so what color hens should I try to find for him? Currently I have 3 hens for him: 1 x blue, 1 x blue splash, 1 x cuckoo. What color chicks will I be able to expect from them? And what are...

Can someone help diagnose this mystery issue with my pair of new -indoor only pullet/cockerel? I have yet to hear anything from the breeder and I’m very worried. I ordered older birds specifically to avoid hatchery issues this time 😞 I ordered a mature pair of orpingtons bantams that arrived...

Hi there myself and my wife and our two children bought two bantam Orpington's a few months ago. Since that my wife's gone chicken crazy and has purchased 10 buff Orpington chicks just yesterday. We also have an incubator coming in the post. So we are now chicken mad. We are new to chickens and...

Looking to get a flock of Orpington bantams going. I love the full size birds so much I have so many colors haha. I would prefer to get silver birchen chocolate but will consider other colors other than buff. Must be NPIP AI clean.

Hiya, This is "little fatty" She's a young Cuckoo Orpington Bantam, and this is her first season of laying. She seems to have got herself into a bit of a pickle, as she's been apparently "broody" for several weeks, but isn't actually sitting on any eggs. She lays in the nest box but doesn't sit...
