    Thank you great advice, I'm looking forward to another winter .We lost Molly recently leaving Buffy all alone. I just acquired 2 sexlink hens 5 month old. They seem to be all getting on and although Buffy doesn't realise that she is actually a hen too she enjoys the company of Peeka & Boo.

    My Molly just sadly died of sudden death. I will be missing her and looking forward to welcoming 2 sexlink pullets coming soon to our home. I love Buff Orpingtons and always will but in my area are hard to come by.

    Hello The no crow collar only reduces the noise and has to be placed around the crows neck very tightly. To be honest it's no life for a rooster as it is very much a part of their existence to crow and makes their necks very sore. They can have breathing issues especially in the hot summer...

    I've used a small amount of diatomaceous earth which kills parasites because once absorbed into wood ash , sand and dirt does not pose respiratory problems for my Buff Orpingtons. Agreed that if you use anything which is fine and powdery can easily be breathed in not only by the chickens but...

    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Chickens Cool In Summer?

    When my back door is left open my two ladies Buffy and Molly just walk right in and free range over to the air conditioner because free range in their mind has no boundaries when it means keeping cool.

    My Buffy is so smart she is learning to do tricks. I created a chicken agility course for her and she is just as responsive as a dog.

    I was happy to learn that chickens don't spread Covid . I just got my shot it's just the way forward . We'll all be fine. My mother at 85 had Covid and hardy had any symptoms and just got her shot too. No big deal. Keep strong & healthy .

    Individual personalities which remind me of returning souls my Buff Orps are hardy, smart and gentle full of charm. They are great with children and our dogs. We're full of admiration and love for them.:celebrate

    My city asked me to get rid of my rooster but they don't have any urban chicken by-laws in place. I'm trying to help make new by-laws that will allow me to keep my 2 hens and beautiful gentle rooster. I really need their chicken therapy to get me through all this upset. Thanks for your kind words.
