    Buff Orpington? Gender?

    I am pretty new to the wonderful world of chickens and had not heard of that color/pattern. Thanks! What about gender?

    Buff Orpington? Gender?

    I thought this chick was a Buff Orpington but now not so sure. He/she is more yellow and has "bars" of light and dark. Legs are whitish. Any thoughts? Also gender? This bird is 6-7 weeks old.

    Pure bred Silkie or mix?

    A friend of mine's neighbor gave him his entire flock plus a bunch of chicks. I took 2 Buff Orpington hens and 3 chicks...this Silkie mix, a buff and another mix . What would be your guess on gender or is it too early?

Any ideas on whether or not this is...

    What breed and gender?

    I tried to post this a bit a go but I can't find it so I apologize if I did this twice :). I got this chick from a friend who got it from his neighbor so we're not sure what it is. Any ideas?

    Well we have really good employees which makes owning our business a lot easier. I showed English Setters for years but now I have Miniature Long Haired Dachshunds (and one Standard).

    I've had my little flock of five for a little over a month now. One of my employee's neighbors needed to re-home his large flock so my employee took all of them and I took 5. I have 2 Buff Orpington hens and 3 chicks about 6 weeks old. I believe one is a Buff Orpington, one is a Silkie and the...
