My Buff Orpingtons are 8 weeks old. All are doing great! I’m pretty sure all but one are pullets. What do you think? Roo or pullet? All pictures are of the same Buff Orpington-she’s 8 weeks old.

For those who have Buff Orpington Roosters, can you post pictures of when your rooster was a chick? I would be so grateful! This is my first time with BO and a lot of my little ladies have red around the growing crowns and under the beak. They are 4 weeks old. Perhaps a little red is normal...

I love seeing everyone's feedback on sexing chicks. I think it's fun, even when" time will tell". Currently, I have 7 baby chicks that are 85-90% guaranteed pullets. I know giving it more time will solidify my suspicions. But nevertheless, guessing is fun. Isn't it!?!?:thumbsup I have seven...

Two-part question here. How many of you out there have purchased 85%-90% sexed pullets to actually be cockerels? And at what age did you have your suspicions and when were your suspicions confirmed?

Who doesn’t love to save a buck or two! My baby chicks love these little boxes from Dollar Tree. They’re like baby nesting boxes, too cute! And they seem to like these mini pallets too. Other finds from Dollar Tree: feed scooper, thermometer and clip claps to close my feed bag. Personally...

Hi All! My baby chicks arrived this morning. They are eating & drinking, settling in. I’m overjoyed & so thankful for the babies! 🐥 While gazing at my little brood, it dawned on me that I know nothing about baby chick behavior. Tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. What are the weird...

Can anyone provide experience with Nutrena NatureWise & Nutrena Country Feeds? I am wanting to know the difference between the two feeds. My hunch is that NatureWise has essential oils & Country Feeds does not. I would greatly appreciate if you can share any experience you have between the...

Hello Everyone! New to BYC, and so glad I’m here. With 2 long decades in the making, we are finally getting chickens this Spring. Four Orpington pullets to be exact. And I couldn’t be happier! Here’s the deal! My husband & I are extremely unhandy. Our skills & strengths lie elsewhere. This...

Hello! My dream of having backyard chickens have been 2 decades in the making. I guess it took $10 eggs to convince my husband to get on board! I’m picking up my Orpington pullets in May. So I have a few months to prepare. Excited to learn the ropes here on BYC. :frow
