Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[chickentrains]

Could you post a picture of a bird showing what you think and actual Orpington should be, please? TIA.

I hate english orps, I like Hatchery orps though

Finally, a thread I can sink my teeth into ...
My Buff Orpingtons are mean. I only have 2, so I know that trait isn’t necessarily representative of the breed, but it’s enough to stop me from getting more.

Ok, now I understand what OP meant about not fluffy enough.

What about Indigo. She’s not buff, but do you hate her?

I meant to reply to this as well, but just wanted to say that Indigo is lovely I also have a Lavender Orpington (from Meyer Hatchery ) who could have been her twin at this age!

Lol I know this isn't the point of the thread but my buffs are the snuggliest chickens in the group. Both of mine are very sweet and cuddly.

I understand the "hate" lol,, its like me hating on French Bulldogs and Bulldogs in general

but spreading misinformation isn't cool. "My buff orpingtons where mean" is more approprite

I think Orpingtons are lovely starter birds. Buff or not

How do they poo through all that fluff without creating stalactites off their butt? Impressive!
