    Hi!:D I’m a newbie here and fairly new in raising chickens. And this is Beeyo, my 3.5month old Buff Orpington, can you help me determine if she’s a She or He? I always thought she was a hen until this morning my husband told me he heard her crow, so I’m doubting now. Thanks in advance!

    I currently have only one out of 16 hens laying. However, a couple days up to laying to now laying for two days, this hen has been sticking to the coop/run area vs free ranging with the rest of the flock. The run and coop part does normally stay open so the chickens can come and go as they...

    Gender by wing method

    Looking for second opinions because there wings are a little scraggly, but I think they are both hens. They are about 4-6 days old.

    White Leghorn laying soft shell eggs and has very swollen vent.

    I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

    Chicks first night in coop

    I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

    Bulging crop hard, chicken lethargic

    I have a buff orpington hen, the smallest of the bunch, who got into a bag of whole corn, possibly alfalfa pellets and grit I think. The day after, her crop was massive and hard. Today she is less lethargic but seems to have a similiar size crop. I don’t want to do surgery!! Is there a solution...

    Buff Orpington Rant thread!

    This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons. ;) But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too. If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come...

    Is the Omlet Coop Big Enough

    Hi. I have 5 buff Orpingtons 17 weeks old. They have an Omlet Igloo for a coop. Tonight I noticed that one of them was sleeping on top of the rest. There’s space for all 5 to roost in this coop, any idea why one would sleep on top of the others? Thank you for the help.

    Adding to Flock?

    Been doing quite a bit of research, and am getting mixed results about the Buff Orpington, of which I have 6 (19 weeks, approaching POL). I absolutely love the breed's friendliness and personality, but I'm afraid I won't get as many eggs as I had hoped for. I am thinking about maybe next summer...

    The Wait is agonizing!!

    I have 6 BO pullets at age 18 weeks. About three are scrawnier, with bright red waddles that have developed quite a bit, and do a squat when I pet them sometimes. The others are bigger pullets, and from my understanding, won’t be as good of egg layers. Any tips/prep, things I should be doing...
