    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...

    Black Copper Maran & Buff Orpington - pullets?

    These "ladies" are roughly six weeks old. Being a newbie, I'm especially unnerved by the pink coming in on Marie, the BCM. Can anyone set my mind at ease on these two? You are very kind!! #1 - Marie, BCM, 6 wks #2 - Buffy, BO, 6 wks

    White Leghorn Hen Offspring

    I just hatched one of my White Leghorn hen’s eggs. It could be a cross with a Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, or Rhode Island Red rooster. Anybody know what each of the potential crosses will look like?

    3 1/2 week old Buff Orpington - comb larger and pinker than the others

    YES! It's still too early to tell...HA! But just humor me??? This buff's comb is quite clearly larger and pinker than the other 8 buff that I have! Although she/he seems to stand more like a pullet at times. Thoughts? :)

    Sneezing Chicken, Runny/Yellow Gunky Nose?

    My biggest and seemingly healthiest Buff Orpington/Ameraucana mix, Biscuit Bird, has a problem. I brought her into the house yesterday for a daily visit with my parents, but my mom noticed that she was sneezing, and that her nose was runny. I had a look, and her nose did have some clear liquid...

    Is this molting or illness? New chicken mom.

    I'm new to raising chickens (since september). My girls are just shy of 1 year old, and when I cleaned their coop today, I noticed there were more feathers than usual and my one buffs had a pale comb and face. I was wondering if anyone could confirm if this is molting. Her behaviors seem normal...
