    English Orpington huge crop

    I have a silver laced English Orpington that has an absolutely ginormous crop. It’s empty every morning but she just refills it by the evening with an astronomical amount of food. It’s roughly the size of a softball. My question is, is it unhealthy for her to do this? Is this breed more prone to...

    Weird wing growth on Orpington chick?

    I got a couple Buff Orpington chicks from the feed store a week or so ago. They were supposed to be English Orpingtons but after the employee dumped them in the box he let me know that they were running low on the English and dumped American in there too 🙄. Anyway, I have a couple of questions...

    Need help identify English Orpington chick color

    I just hatched some English Orpington chicks and I had assumed they would all be solid black because the dad is a black silver birchen (though from the pics im not positive she's right) and the mothers are solid chocolates but I have ended up with 3 that are brownish in color. One is bright...

    Starting Over the Dual Purpose Project

    Starting over can be a hard thing to do. Remembering how far you came before can actually hinder you even more when you have to go back to the beginning. I found that I needed to do just that. My health was not great and I was finding that I needed to cut back in order to be able to still raise...

    English Orpington in Oklahoma

    Hello y'all! Feel free to point me in the right forum direction if this is in the wrong spot. I haven't used BYC in two years or so, so I'm a little confused on where to go now. Long story short, I moved to Florida, sold my birds, learned I hate Florida and will be moving back to South East...
