She is the roosters favorite and has lost the feathers on her backside from being mounted so often. The other girls noticed her revealing pink skin and started pecking. It looks bad. I am treating her wounds and she will be fine. Wondering if anyone is selling saddles that would fit a full...

Well...as good as the noodle soup sounds, I just love my guys too much! They are the sweetest roosters I have ever had. Huge and handsome!! Guess I won't have perfect birds, but I will have happy ones!

Hackle feathers are the neck feathers right? Well I have 4 orpington roosters. One is splash, one blue, and 2 black. The blue and black each have hackle feathers that are either red, or yellow (that blend in with the black, but very noticeable). It's nice because I can tell them apart, but...

My orpingtons and dels are like that! After I let them out in the morning I have to sneak around the yard in hopes that they don't spot me or else them come a-runnin'. Once they spot me they start running, flying, and screaming all the way to me, and then they try to trip me up. I wonder what...

Usually by 5 weeks you can tell. The roos will have obvious red wattles and comb, while the girls won't.

I received eggs wrapped in aluminum foil and they came all the way from AZ to NH and 9 out of 10 hatched! She didn't wrap each egg, she wrapped the whole bundle of bubble wrapped eggs in foil before she boxed them. I believe it helps. When and if I start selling hatching eggs, that is how I...

I guess I got lucky...my buff orps have starting laying at 19 weeks. Could be the quality of feed you feed them. I was purchasing their feed from Agway, and then one day stopped into Blue Seal and purchased a bag of their feed, and they were totally different. Both were grower feed. The...

How old are your orpingtons? Mine are 17 weeks and I'm wondering how much longer I have to wait to see my first eggs. Quote:

Will anyone have day or week old chicks? My latest hatch (3 chicks) didn't go quite so well, and would like to add a few more babies....Post what you have for day/week olds....
