Hi, this buff Orpington is about 6-7 weeks old. Can you tell me if this is a rooster?

Looking for second opinions because there wings are a little scraggly, but I think they are both hens. They are about 4-6 days old.

I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

Hey everyone!! I have two buff orps and three speckled sussex that are about 7 months old now all pullets. Temperatures around here have been getting as low as 29F at night. They sleep in a coop with the door shut, a little window screen to ventilate, and no heat source. We loaded the coop floor...

Hey guys is the lack of feathers on this Buff at 6+weeks old an issue? Is there anything I can do to help her along Someone suggested vitamins in the water. Cheers for any help

Hey everyone! We've been trying to tell if our chickens are pullets or cockerels and haven't been able to figure it out! They're around 14 weeks old The brown/speckled ones are Speckled Sussexs and the yellow ones are Buff Orpingtons Here are some pictures (we had to bribe them with food and...

I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

I have a buff orpington hen, the smallest of the bunch, who got into a bag of whole corn, possibly alfalfa pellets and grit I think. The day after, her crop was massive and hard. Today she is less lethargic but seems to have a similiar size crop. I don’t want to do surgery!! Is there a solution...

This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons. ;) But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too. If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come...

Hi. I have 5 buff Orpingtons 17 weeks old. They have an Omlet Igloo for a coop. Tonight I noticed that one of them was sleeping on top of the rest. There’s space for all 5 to roost in this coop, any idea why one would sleep on top of the others? Thank you for the help.

Been doing quite a bit of research, and am getting mixed results about the Buff Orpington, of which I have 6 (19 weeks, approaching POL). I absolutely love the breed's friendliness and personality, but I'm afraid I won't get as many eggs as I had hoped for. I am thinking about maybe next summer...

I have 6 BO pullets at age 18 weeks. About three are scrawnier, with bright red waddles that have developed quite a bit, and do a squat when I pet them sometimes. The others are bigger pullets, and from my understanding, won’t be as good of egg layers. Any tips/prep, things I should be doing...

Hello all! I am brand new to raising chickens (this is my first batch) and loving it! We got 4x day old chicks and I'm starting to think that my buff orpington is a roo... Wondering if someone more experienced with this breed has any insight. I have been holding out hope that (s)he may grow...

Hi, y'all! I'm wondering if my buff orpington is a hen or a roo. Not quite sure how many weeks he/she is...5-6 weeks I'm thinking. She/he is my only buff orpington so I dont have another to compare it to! Thank in advance!

I have an almost 3 year old buff orpington hen who's left eye has all of a sudden changed. She acts normal, looks overall healthy but I'm not sure why it has changed. The pupil is slightly irregular shaped while the eye is a lighter color. The other eye is completely normal. She's lived with the...

Getting chicks around July to replenish the flock for about the 4th time. Getting a BO rooster And some Welsumer chicks! As always I can't wait and it's not even Christmas yet! :barnie Anyone else getting some?

I’m betting that it’s the little one, just Becuase she turned five weeks and has a red comb already and just somehow looks like a boy to me. My question is what do you guys think? We have three chickens. Two are pullets I believe. We have one buff Orpington 7 weeks old, one barred rock (or...

Hi all, I have my first rooster. He is 4 months old and has been quite busy with my hens the last few weeks. My hens are all over a year. Is there a specific age that my rooster needs to be to be fertile? Or is he good to go? Also, I’m wondering how the genetics and coloring will work. I do not...
