    Girls or boys?

    Any guesses as to these 3 chicks sex. 1 exchanger leghorn, 1 buff orpington, 1 columbian black tail. They are 3 weeks old today. I have my suspions..... Any obvious clues? If the buff is the orange one then am I right in thinking the yellow one is a roo black tail because of its colour?

    Hi, I'm in the SF East Bay Area and have 5 almost 10 week old chicks. I got 7 chicks when they were 2 to 3 days old. 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 Rhode Island Reds. 1 BO and 1 SS turned out to be roosters. My town doesn't allow roosters, so I re-homed them yesterday. It was...

    Chicken rings?

    Hey y’all! :frow This might not be posted at the right forum but have any of you used chicken leg rings (or whatever they’re called) to identify your chickens? I’m getting 3 of the same breed (buff orps) at the same age and it might be hard to tell them apart. What other thing could I use to...

    1ST EGG!!

    Buffy, my 4 month Buff Orpington laid her 1st egg last week, August 16th. She's now up to 9 eggs. I wasn't expecting them so soon. I thought hens had to be at least 5 - 6 months before starting. It's so cute. When she goes into the coop to lay, the other two hens wait for her by the door...

    Buff Orpington, hen or roo?

    My "big girls" hatched in late April (13 weeks old) and as soon as I thought I only had one boy, I ordered another batch of chicks including two boys which arrived last week. I then had fourth surprise roo, and now I'm wondering about one more. This is Buttercup... and may need to be renamed...

    Wierd vent?

    Hi everyone. Very odd problem today. My buff Orpington hen is completely bald in a strip on her backside, underneath her vent. All the remaining feathers are caked and coated with something, I’m guessing poo. She also has an icky porta-potty smell :sick On top of that, her poop looks like...

    Strange Speckled Egg

    I went out to the coop to get the eggs from my 3 Buff Orpingtons today and when I looked into the nesting boxes, a very strange egg was waiting for me. It is a very pale, almost white egg with a ton of tanish spots covering it. As you can see, it is much lighter in color compared to the...

    Rooster or "early blooming" hen??

    Hey everyone! I got 12 baby pullets, 5 different breeds, on March 1, 2018. One of my Buff Orpingtons, that is supposed to be a female, is developing faster than the rest and I believe she may be a rooster and am hoping I can get some opinions. I'm more of a "count your chickens before they...
