So I have a small flock, 11 chickens, 12 now I guess. 9 Barred Rock hens, 1 Buff Orpington hen, 1 Buff Orpington rooster, and now this little fuzzball named Nugget.
My Buff Orpington hen, Elizabeth, was trying to hatch 3 eggs. She hatched 1 and abandoned the other 2 eggs. Looking at this chick...
Hi! My name is Nat. I recently brought home my first ever baby chicks. I am in love with their outgoing, sweet personalities and I can't wait to watch them grow!
(1) My grandfather had chickens and owned/worked a farm. This is my first experience with chickens, and I would like to open up a...
In a couple of days these four will be seven weeks old. Two buff Orphington and two Easter Eggers. Would love some help with determining which are hens and which are roosters.
So, I had searched and searched for speckled sussex chicks and finally found them at Rural King. There was two left and I bought both. They were in the same bin as the Buff Orpington chicks, a breed I have never had but wouldn't mind having. So of course with the minimum you have to buy I bought...
Hey y’all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I have these roughly 5-5.5 week old Buff Orps who have been very difficult for a while. Any guesses on genders? Thank y’all! First 3 are chick 1, #4 and 5 are chick 2. Thanks!
Hi all,
What do you think?? He or she?? There are 2 Lavender Orpingtons, 1 Black Copper maran, and 1 Buff Orpington.
They are all the same age, approximately 2 weeks old.
The Lavender Orpingtons are pullets, according to my grandma. What do you think about the other two?
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some advice for our 8-month old buff orpington rooster. A few weeks ago we noticed that the tips of his comb were turning black. There was no bleeding involved which made us rule out other forms of injury. It seemed to be getting better and returning to a more red...
I have a beautiful Buff Orpington rooster that needs a home. We are not able to have roosters where we currently live. He is 6 months old and is well mannered and gentle. I could deliver him anywhere in the Pittsburgh and surrounding area if you could provide him a safe, no kill home as he has...
Hi, I live just north of Houston in Spring, TX (77388). Desperately need a good home for my sweet, docile 5 month old buff orpington rooster. I can't have roosters in my neighborhood and I tried to keep him anyway when he turned out to be a boy, but now he's crowing NONSTOP :(

Symptoms:

So, in case anyone is interested in seeing what they look like....I have a BCM and Splash Bearded Silkie cross cockerel and a BCM and Buff Orpington cockerel. Both have a BCM dad.
One of my Buff Orpington hens has been laying for about 2 weeks now. She has been fine before. Today, she went to their favorite nesting box like normal, but now she have been in there for about 3 hours and squawks whenever there is another chicken around. Is she broody, or do I have to wait to...
Hi all,
So I just got 9 chicks last week and they are currently 12 days old (born on July 31). Among the flock, we bought 2 Buff Orpingtons. One of the Buff Orpingtons is VERY large and probably the largest one out of all them and the other one is the smallest one out of all of them. The...
