Buffy is our only Orpington. She is independent, lower on the pecking order, but big, fluffy and likes to cluck. She lays frequently when not broody. She's my only brooder so far that I have...

These are my first chickens, gifts from a daughter for Christmas. Once they started laying, it's rare to have a day without one egg from each hen. They come when I call them, stay close to the...

They are all SO beautiful, everyone! I'm so glad I "gave in" :) I've read that they are super friendly, too. Has that been the general experience?

My wife has decided she wants SLW's and GLW's. Any idea of where I can find quality breeding stock? A PM would be appreciated. Thanks!

There may be some place near you, but I got mine from Farm King. My other chickens came from mypetchickens.com. they are always in touch with you, courteous and have sent great chicks. They even sexed to males for me for a $1.00 charge each.

How did I not find this thread till today?

But sure glad that I did! I am a newbie witha mixed flock of 6 chicks (they are about 4 weeks old). One is a SLW. Ironically, my 7 year old nephew took one look at the black little fuzzy chick and named her Silver. (kinda of freaky he did that with NO prep of what she was).

I am researching the breed so don't know a lot right now. Trying to determine if Silver is a she....or a he. I'm sure its too early to tell!

Here are the most current pictures of Silver.

I look forward to learning more on this thread!

I will try to post a couple of pics of my 2, Daphne and Sugar Plum. Daphne is friendly and will hang around your feet, but Sugar Plum is a lap hen...lol And an affection hog...lol But I love them!

It don't get much better than this!

A silly question but one that came up with my friends. How do you pronounce the breeds name? Win-dot? Wine-dot? Win-dote?....they are a beautiful breed and would like to have some- but it would be nice to be able to sound like I know what I am asking for.
