    My first egg!!!

    Out of my sixteen pullets, I thought my cinnamon queens would lay first and buff orpingtons would lay last. (I have cinnamon queens, buff orpingtons, easter eggers, silver laced black wyandotte, delaware.) However, today i received my first egg from (I'm pretty sure) one of my buff orpingtons...

    Do I have a brooder full of roosters?

    First things first: Yes, I know it's early to tell and I need to wait a bit to know for certain. That said, I have a group of six chicks I hatched out four and a half weeks ago. We've spent a lot of time together and based on the hens I've raised (three dozen total) and what I am seeing in the...

    Earlobe Injury

    I noticed my 17 week old hen had an injured earlobe with a strand of skin hanging off. Immediately I separated her, cleaned it, and sprayed chicken antibiotics on it. So I have two questions: How does my chicken hospital look? Is there anything I should do in regards to the strand of skin?

    Lethargic and soft-egg laying hen

    Hi! I have a 2 year old buff orpington hen and in the recent weeks shes lost a significant amount of weight and has a loss of appetite. I don’t think its sourcrop; her crop nor breath smell and her crop isn’t swollen — its actually very small and squishy (maybe because she isnt eating?). Shes...

    Mid-June Molt?

    I have a flock of five hens who are all a little over 4 years old. Two of the five are starting to molt--a buff orpington and a RIR hybrid. The buff orpington had a light/mini-molt already in May, where she stopped laying for a couple of weeks and lost a small amount of feathers. This molt is...

    Egg bound or sick or something else?

    One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can. When she is laying it seems like she’s trying to squeeze something out so I’m thinking she may be egg bound, however she...

    Jubilee x Buff Orpington what will I get?

    I'm considering creating a new breed so to say. I love my Jubilee orpingtons so much, Buffs too. And I was interested if by crossing them I could get something like Jubilee but for the base color to be closer to buff. Hope someone can help me and inform me if I should even try it, what are the...

    I think she answered my question...

    I joined this group yesterday to post some new behaviors I was seeing from my Buff Orpington. I'm a new chicken momma and all of my girls are between 20-22 weeks. Yesterday my Buff was screaming all day and laying on the ground in the coop and just being obnoxious overall. The videos are posted...
