Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to join the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around BYC.
Buff Orpingtons are without a doubt my favorite chicken! As many wonderful kinds of chickens there are, I'm a buffie girl (as nice as my minorca and old english game bantams are). This is my Hen Houdini (but her caboos is now too large for any clever escapes. For whatever reason, my Buffs, no matter where I get them, tend to be a little bigger than the SOP says they should be. All muscle, no fat though.)
Adam went out this morning to give the hens a bowl of corn and cranberries. I looked out the window and immediately started laughing. I grabbed the camera and took a few photos---This was completely unplanned---so random!
---Adam's jacket and red hat made him look like some big old Buff Orpington!
We have 4 buff orpington girls that we just love. After a bit of frostbite on combs this winter each had a hat knitted for them for extremely cold nights, and each is in a different color. Today hubby posed with Hannah the hen, the sweetest one ever! She just loves attention and to be held and sit in our laps! I snapped these pictures!
