Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

My two youngest, from Jody and Charlie Hinkle. Hope and Grace are almost 10 weeks old.

Nugget here is the reason I wanted more from Jody. Nugget is the perfect broody mama. She's 3 yrs old.

Sunny is my only remaining hatchery Buff Orp hen. She is 5 1/2 yrs old now.

Two of our 6 hens are buff orps and they really are the sweetest girls! They follow us around and are always wanting to be where we are. The only complaint is that they are louder than the other girls in our flock. LOL!

In march and april I went to tractor supply and brought 9 what i thought to be buff orpingtons all together. only two turned out to be buff orpingtons they rest were buff rocks. i was so disapointed. they are my favorite breed of chickens and are so nice. the two that turned out to be orpingtons are so nice and come right up to me when i go out in the yard. next year im going to try to get all orpingtons and give my rocks to some family members. is there anyway to tell the difference in them when they are chicks, i know the legg color is how you tell them apart but is it apparent when they are only a few days old? i dont want to end up with even more rocks even though they are still pretty i like the orps better. thanks for any help.

Here are two of our Buff Orpingtons with Nicole and Jacob.

Your prayers are appreciated! The divorce was granted.

I will be on/off BYC. If we owe you hatching eggs, please forward us the listing information. We are almost caught up on them and do not wish to miss anyone. Geese are now laying!
