Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE
Yesterday I received three free beautiful, buff orpingtons. They are so gentle and ladylike! I am not sure of their ages, but I am guessing somewhere between 6 mo's and a year. So far they are getting along with my three other hens... and my roo has been doing nifty dances to impress the ladies!- Chickenberry

Integrating new birds to existing flock
Ack, I hate pecking order. We've integrated four new pullets (5mo old) recently and it was world war II from the start. We had to completely separate the youngest from the roo who wanted to dive on her and attack her every chance he got. Now they are together during the day, but she spends...- Chickenberry
