Hi there-
A few nights ago a skunk got 2 of my 3 (2.5 month old) buff orpington pullets. Despite how angry and sad I am about the situation, I have to admit that the skunk did an impressive job- digging under 2 coop walls and pushing through bricks that were underground. But the admiration...
I am a new chicken owner and my favorite chicken, a buff orpington, was supposed to be female.
But here are the facts:
born in March, about 5 months old
no spurs
she/he crows (rather quietly) around 8am and usually stops when we let them out of the coop
very docile and lower in the pecking...
