My buff orpi is not very happy at the moment One of my roosters has managed to rip her back open. She is in solitary until it heals. She did give me and egg yesterday in spite of that.MyHaven, I live in the Dandenong Ranges, 1hr and a half east of Melbourne, in Victoria. The lovely hen in my avatar is my Buff Orpington Rosie. She is 2 years old now and the most adorable sweetie. Her sisters are Milly (who is broody with 8 eggs) and Lucy. Below is a photo of them scratching at my nana's garden a few months ago (they were babysat when I was on holidays):
