Hi all,
I’m just a bit puzzled by my buff orpingtons. At least that’s what the guy told me they were. I got them by exchanging my 2 6-month-old roosters for 4 baby chicks.
They were all born a day or 2 apart but as shown in the picture, one of them is half the size of the others and her...
I have 2 roosters who are super chill. Well, they're super chill with me around. But then today I heard a giant ruckus in the coop so I went to check and found out that the 2 roosters - 1 silkie/polish mix, the other a modern game bantam - were fighting. Fights rarely break out between the 2...

Here are my 3 fairly new sikies (had them for about 3 weeks now). The gold with gray dusting (2nd from the left) is our original...

I want to go straight to asking my question but it was suggested I introduce myself first.
So, I'm anatess. I have 5 silkies. I live in the city zoned residential so I'm limited with my chickens. For example, I can't have a rooster, so when my silkie that I thought was a girl...
