buff

Hi All, I am thinning my flock and have a 2 year old (born march 2019) buff orpington for sale. She is friendly and healthy (vaccinated for Merek's). She's a bit at the bottom of the totem pole. I just have too many brown egg layers and limited space. Her name is Havana Emilio Esteves. But you...

We believe they are around 6 weeks old. Purchased from a farm store the first week of March, 2021. SLW combs are starting to turn a peach color, while buffs are staying mostly yellowish. Any help is much appreciated!

This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons. ;) But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too. If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come...

We are long time chicken folks and have always raised Buff Orpingtons. Because of the pandemic we had to use Hoover Hatchery, which was new to us. Our buffs in this batch are terribly, horribly aggressive. Has anyone else had this issue? thanks!

I am relatively new to chickens, only owning my own flock for about six months. I have taken care of them longer but I am excited to have my own! My flock of nine consists of three silkies, two Buff Orphingtons, two Ameraucaunas, one Barred Rock, and one Blue Lace Wyandotte (my favorite). I...

Hi there. I have a 3-year old Buff Orpington that likes to sit a lot...like, a lot. She sits under the log jungle gym in the run, she sits in the mulch landscaping bushes, she sits on my lap, she sits on patio under the table (where she currently is sitting as I write this), and now that the...

I am getting into growing my chickens, so I am a newbie. Hope to enjoy my new hobby and pets. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to growing chickens but I did have chicks when I was young. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Still incubating...

Silkies, rooster in forefront

It's been a while since I've been on this site so I hope this is the right place to ask. Recently I just learned that a member of our flock, our sassy buff orpington hen, just passed away unexpectedly. When told this, I remembered another buff orpington hen we owned years ago that suffered the...

I have a gosling that I initially thought was a buff, but I noticed he has blue eyes. My two girls that are the possible moms are a Classic Roman and an American Buff. More than likely the Roman is the mom. The possible dad’s are Leo and Parsnip, French Toulouse, and French Toulouse? Leo is...

Just look at him aaaaaa

Maybelle: two week old buff orpington chick

Nugget is a three weeks old Buff Orpi and we're starting to have suspicions that they're a rooster (or cockerel at this point.) Is there anyway to tell this or is it too early? We were sold them as pullets but I know these local hacteries can make those mistakes. They're getting their waddles...

Mama & babies. Silkies love being on the ground.

Hi All! We are new to backyard chickens, but have been planning on this for a while. We picked up our pullets from our local Murdochs on Feb 21. They were only a couple days old when they came home with us. We have a mixed flock: 2 Buffs, 2 Sussex, and 2 Plymoth Rocks. I think one of our Buffs...

My buff Orpington is 7 months old, she became sick a few days ago. One of her eyes was swollen and had bubbles in it. But we have started treating her with Neosporin and saline twice a day. But now it seems like she is unable to breathe very well. She raises her head and takes a long breathe...

I noticed my hen had a swollen eye 2 or 3 days ago. But after putting them up tonight, I noticed it has closed all the way. The other eye looks completely normal but the other is swollen shut. Today she seems to be almost sneezing and making weird noises with her nose. I didn’t know if she...

Hi, I'm trying to learn about chicken genetics and general appearances. No breeds in particular. 1. Blue or green eyes. Heritable? If so, dominant or recessive? Can't find any info at all. (not talking about ocular Marek's) 2. Some breeds have black eyes. What happens if they're crossed with...

Hello my buff ducks are almost 9 weeks old and fully feathered. Wondering when the male plumage comes through though? Drakes usually get dark heads like this: I vent sexed them young and was sure we had 4 girls and 3 boys, but they all still have similar colouring. Anyone know? This is my...
