*Buff Orpington Thread!*

I wonder how to put in the nest boxes, worth thinking about.

Any good names for my new Buff Orpington Rooster? He will be 1 year old in April. So sweet & gentle, but huge. Any ideas?

As for the coop, build one about 4 times bigger than what you think you'll need. Trust me on this one. New chicken keepers always get rooked into thinking they dont' need as much space as they really do, then wonder why the birds are pecking each other to pieces. Overcrowding. You can't ever have one too big, but you can sure have one too small.

X2 ! Especially for Orps ! Roost space should be 3 feet per bird. They must be able to spread their wings to fly up and settle.They are NOT rocket powered !

The man I got him from had 1 more (my roos brother) only paid $10 I would have bought other too but only need 1 rooster due to I only have 1 hen left right now. will be getting some hens soon. Know of any orpington hens for sale or free is better.
