Hi again. Well...no egg song, but our one and only rooster just started crowing a few minutes ago. Not very loudly either, which I hope it remains so. Don't want the neighbors complaining, or he will have to go! Hey, that kind of sounds like a limerick! Ha!

Hello again all! Well...we ended up sending all of the roos but one to the local farm auction. Things started to get pretty violent between the roos and sometimes escalated to the hens. There was one very dominant roo that kept grabbing the others by the wattles/combs and shaking them like a...

Oh Poo! Just like I figured. Well...the cockerel that is behind that pullet is the one that I like. I kind of hoped that it might be a pullet. But when I noticed that it's feathers had that beautiful sheen and when his comb/wattles grew and were red I figured that he probably was going to be a...

Sorry, I had some computer issues. Just one more pic.

Well...the pullets and cockerels are about 12 weeks old now and we are getting ready to cull out the roos and find homes for them. I have some new pictures and I am hoping that you might be able to confirm their sex.

We don't have to worry about the dog bothering the neighbors any more. He expired several years ago. He was quite old. We believe that we might have 6 BO roos. We are planning on getting rid of all of them. We do not want/need any roos for our farm as we got the chickens with the hopes that...

We aren't sure that we want to deal with all that comes with owning a rooster. You know, the crowing at dawn for one thing. (Annoyed neighbors who already hate us because our "bad" dog always seemed to slip away from our, yard only to be found in their back yard, barking at them through their...

You know, I got to thinking back today. Back when the chicks were little, maybe 4 weeks. And I seem to remember that there were 2 BO's that were slow to get their feathers. Every other chick, including the Buckeyes and Dominiques, were getting their feathers but these two BO's. I was saying...

These are some pics of my Orpingtons. I don't know if I have doubles of some chickens and missed others! They weren't very good models. They kept moving around and were getting under my feet. LOL Okay, I know that these photos...

Thank you all. I will go out today and take some pictures of them with the best of my ability. Two of the Orpingtons are 10 weeks old and 9 are 8 weeks. They are in the same pen as our 5 Buckeyes, 5 Dominiques, and 4 mixed breed red pullets. It's usually a circus out there when I enter. They...

Hello All, I am sure that this discussion has been on this forum a million times...however, we have 11 straight run Buff Orpingtons and it sure would be nice to figure out exactly how many hens we will be ending up with and how many roosters that we will need to find homes for. I have looked...
