    When do Buff Orpingtons start laying?

    Got our first 3 eggs this morning! Our Buffs are all 23 weeks and some have matured faster then others. We still have a couple that have small pink combs and waddles. Slow starters.

    "Rare Exotic Bird"

    Well, it looks like a chicken. Since I pawned it off on you with the 2 BO's I am praying that it is a hen and not a roo.

    Greetings!

    Welcome, I love BYC. I have been gathering info for the last couple of years from here and we finally took the plunge about a month ago. We just moved our 3 week old chicks to their coop today. They loved having the freedom of the run and I saw an amazing number of "flights" now that they...

    scottcaddy, your too funny. I also was raised country on a farm with lots, and lots of chickens. Growing up in a rural farm community ment we had a feed store in town, a short tractor ride away. Now I have to contend with 5 lane highways and tourists heading to the beach.

    New Egg here in Craven County. Hoping for someone nearby that can steer me to a local source for my bedding and feed. Currently I am driving over 40 miles round trip to go to TSC for supplies. I have 13... 3 week old Buff Orpingtons and they are a hungry little group of hens!

    Chicks in the mail a long time

    Sorry to hear that. My Buffs are about 10 days old and pretty good moving away from the heat lamp if they are hot. I also have them on my sunporch with the airconditioner running so the heat lamp is their only source of warmth. I also grew up with chickens and there is alot that I am having...

    Chicks in the mail a long time

    I ordered 15 Buff Orpingtons and my "bonus" chick we think is a Road Island Red. She and 2 of the Buffs have already moved 90 miles aways to my daughters. But I still got a Bakers Doz and I am enjoying watching them grow.

    What is this Mystery Bonus Chick I received?

    That is what my SIL thinks it is. I guess I will have to wait till it gets a little older to be sure.
