    Buff Orpingtons all looking like Roos?

    Chicks have been so hard to come by with everyone buying them out instantly in our area. We really wanted Buff Orpingtons and so I was able to snag these 3 from TSC 4 weeks ago as straight run. We live in town and, unfortunately, cannot have Roos. I know it’s early but I’m worries all three of...

    Buff Orpington Hen Limping

    Hey y'all! Long time no post. I hope everyone's doing well! So, I have a flock of six chickens. There are four buff Orpington hens, one silkie pullet, and one silkie cockerel. It seems that all of our hens have started laying at about 6.5 months (we assume so at least, as we get about four eggs...

    Buff or saxony?

    I just got these three (along with some fawn&whites and pekins) from TSC. Can anyone tell the difference? A and B look identical, even if they're impossible for me to guess breed, but C looks different - is she not the same as them??

    Letting Hen Raise Chicks

    I have a flock of six chickens that I got last spring, so they'll be a year old in March. We're thinking of getting a couple more chicks (maybe 2) in a few months and letting my buff orpington raise them. She's gone broody pretty frequently since she started laying eggs around Aug/Sept, and I...

    Sick chicken

    Hi, I posted a thread about my chicken and I’m so thankful for people who responded to that one. I’m hoping to reach more people. My one year old chicken is not seeing properly, keeping her one eye shut and yesterday she managed to eat lots if I keep my hand close to her eye. She can’t aim and...

    Orpington Genetics/Breeding

    Okay, so I am new to chickens, or sort of, I am definitely new to breeding and genetics, I am obsessed with the orpingtons primarily (Marans and Ameraucana's are right up there as well) I've been doing a lot of research into genetics and I do have a basic understanding of genetics, though...

    Hello hello! Who wants a couple of pet roosters who are very good to their humans and hens of all ages? Come take a look at the combo known as Fluffy and Waffles! We did the chicken math, and even if we could hide both of them from the chicken police, we don’t have enougn ladies for the two of...

    Hand raised Buff Orpington Roosters are in need of help finding a new home.

    Hello everyone! I live in Pinellas County where roosters and flocks larger than four aren’t allowed. Well… I have six chickens and I think two of my three buff Orpingtons are sweet, funny, friendly roosters. Fluffy was born around early June. He is gorgeous, smart, great with my kids (4yo and...

    Is this poop or something like vent gleet?

    My buff Orpington laid this egg in the middle of the coop far from the nesting boxes. She also has a tiny bit of white stuff in the feathers near her vent but the vent itself looks normal. Should I be concerned?

    Which chicken breed laid this egg?

    This may seem like a silly question when you see my chickens and which breeds I am discussing here. Buff Orpingtons, Polish (unsure if bantam or large fowl), and an Easter Egger. This afternoon’s egg haul. The brown ones are my SGs. Bottom one is my 1yo KC duck’s. Top white egg is the one...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    The infamous question: Roo or Hen?!?

    Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...

    SC Pee Dee 4 Buff Orpington Roosters

    hi! I am looking to find a home for my buff Orpington roosters that hatched on may 6. They are really sweet, just do not have the space they need in our coop. They hatched from a school embryology project I completed with my class. They love people, are friendly.

    First Time Broody, All Died

    I had a 1 year old Buff Orpington go broody a few weeks ago. She started with 9 eggs and they all died despite her being very faithful - wondering what happened and how we can improve next time. I’m thinking possibly the heat (has been 100+ degrees here in Alabama and very humid) as well as...

    I have an 11 month old Buff Orpington hen named Maisie. I went out about an hour and a half ago to the run and saw her falling asleep while standing. I quickly grabbed her and brought her in and gave her two Calcium Citrate+D3 pills (630mg total) just in case she may be egg bound. I also gave...

    Buff Orpington 14 weeks pullet/cockerel?

    My buff orpington is 14 weeks old. I think it's a pullet because so little comb and wattle development but it has the marks where the spurs will start forming and it has the funny eyebrows that roosters get. I've never seen it this prominent in a pullet before, but I'm new to raising chickens...

    New Member here!

    Hello fellow chicken friends. I have grown up with chickens my whole life living at my mom and dads and recently became married and bought a house. We had an existing coop with a small run that was already on property. We ripped out the old run and built a 15’x20’ run. We purchased 20 chicks...

    Is this a Buff Orpington?

    Hi! I am hoping this is a buff orpington (as that is what the local feed store told me she was... also not sure its a she but just putting it out there 😁) I'm a first time chicken mama, so I'm still learning about the various characteristics of breeds. If she's not a buff orpington, then I'll...
