    I have a nice Lavendar Orpington Rooster that reigns over my Orpington pen, since there are also blue, black and splash Orpingtons in with him what colors would I hatch out? I have two lavender hens in there also, but I am assuming I should get Lavendar from them. I'm not very well versed in...

    Unrelated - Swedish Flower Hens: 2 Roosters and 1 Hen - No. Minnesota

    I just love these birds, but have to downsize considerably before winter. They would stay if I had a place to keep them and I had more than 1 hen, but it seems that I'm mostly good at hatching roosters from this breed. I've already found homes for 2 other roosters. The 2 males are not...

    Help needed with Orpingtons Genders

    These 2 splash Orpingtons are 4 months old and I have a terrible time figuring out if Orpingtons are cockerals or pullets until they lay or crow. Of course, my almost 1 year old lavender Orp cockerel hasn't crowed yet. Splash Orpington #1 (3 pics) Splash Orpington #2 (3 pics)

    Why can't I edit my member page anymore?

    I've been using the same member page for over a year and have edited it many times. Why won't it let me anymore? I can go to edit the page but when I go to save it, it says that this member page title is already in use. Should I just try again tomorrow?

    Newly hatched chick with feet/leg issues- any hope?

    I have a Appenzeller Spitzhauben chick that hatched on Friday (3/2) and could not walk because of curled toes. Right away we tried to fix his toes with light cardboard and bandaids - which seemed to help a little. Next day he was spraddle legged - so we put a hobble on him. The chick are on...

    Rcom 20 Having problems with temp

    Bought this rcom 20 and because I have and use the Rcom mini (3) successfully, I didn't think I needed to check the temp inside the incubator (display said it was right on) - I've tried to hatch two batches of eggs (first just shipped, but second had some of my own eggs in it). Nothing hatching...

    What breed is she?

    This is Peepers - she was supposed to be a Buff Orpington (along with the other 9 that I ordered). She obviously is not. She lays big green eggs, so I think EE. Is she a mix (and what kind if she is) or is she just a EE?

    How do you stop egg eating chicken

    I was getting quite a few eggs from my 9 BO hens and then early this spring (before snow was melted) I was getting next to zero eggs. Discovered that one of the chickens was eating the eggs (Ugh!) I tried golf balls - she pecks them but still finds the eggs too. I put her in solitary...
