We just lost one of our BBS Orp due to bullying,

Its part of raising chicks

so be xtra carefull to avoid losses,

are they not on the same age?

 

[mmmyyykkkeee]

the first batch are now 12 weeks old!

I ordered another batch from oz This time, i'll try day old chicks. my first 2 batches don't want to be picked!!! i'm sure the chicks will let me pick them up anytime i want. Haha.

I ordered 4 buff orps, 2 JG and 2 RIR. I must admit i tried to stop myself but i just couldn't help it!! it's so tempting! I want australop too but maybe i'll order it some other time.

@mmmyyykkkeee

Your chickens are getting fluffy, esp the Buff orp.

I envy u, as much as I want to order again from Oz, my budget is not enough, I still want to order day old chicks as from what Ive observe they still have immunity, my next order will be 10 chicks again, maybe 5 buff orps and 5 BBS orps. But the problem is the possibility of getting less hens and more roos. Its a 50-50 chance.

i'm sure you'll be able to get some other breeds soon.

yup indeed they are getting fluffy. My buff isn't as heavy as the mixed and rir though.

I agree about the 50-50 chance. If they become roo, i'll give them to my brother or maybe send them to freezer.

I am reading some forums about eggs and it looks like the members are enjoying collecting different color of eggs from their easter egger chickens. You are lucky you have EEs.

Haha I am excited to see green eggs from my EE chickens. I have 3 obvious EE hens so far. And 1 mixed breed hen.

Im giving them Coxiban in their water as I have seen some orange/ red flesh on some of their poops. But they look active so far.

Oh i hope your chicks have no serious illness. i can only imagine how worried you were when you saw those orange thingy in their poop.

good thing we can always ask oz and other peeps here in byc. Indeed a lot of people here are friendly and helpful.

i saw this picture in one of the forums here and i thought i must share it too

 

[villagefarm]

Yes, I mix the big ones with the small ones, I thought Orpringtons are docile, I never realised they could be aggressive at times,

 

[mmmyyykkkeee]

Oh. My buff orp is very docile and calm. the younger chicks even peck on her and she just walks away. Perhaps not all buff orpingtons have the same characteristics.
