I have yet to experience this 🙈 things to look forward to as a first time chicken owner 😅

Omg... they are the floofiest of floofy I have ever seen in a chicken (at least as chicks) 😂😂 the other ones (EEs and Dominant Coppers), are soft with clean feather lines, and both of my orps are like big giants puffballs 😂

Yes, I got him with a Lavender Orp as well, who has the tiniest little gray/black comb and wattles... They really are friendly curious little ones.. Yours are so lovely🥰

Yeah, we assume at this point 😂 but they hold out the hope anyway.. he is loved one way or the other😂 this whole sexing chickens has me questioning every little thing they do 😂 though I do believe the other 5 are pullets at this point.. he is the lucky one 😊

He really is.. im already attached 😂🥰

They grow so fast 🥰 my kids are obsessed with them, and so long as he stays friendly-ish, he/she does a stellar job letting the ladies know of hawks and dogs nearby... though they are hoping it's still a "she" with just some rooster qualities and spunk, we will likely keep it regardless 🥰

So, update week 9 and a half 🥰 Beatrice (Beau or BoB) is loving life, crows (weird attempts), and comes and lays down next to me every late morning while I have my coffee 😂 still pecking away at hands probably because that's where most of the treats come from.. figured I would post some update...

I really hope so, because the first one posted goes toe to toe with what I believe is a buff orpington cockrel pretty regularly 🙈 and she is so much smaller than the buff 😂

Yeah, I messed up attaching them 🙈

I have 2 lovely EE, they are a little skittish but friendly nonetheless. I actually love nothing more than looking at everyone's pictures and I can't help but see the differences in what age mine should be versus what I see on some threads. I purchased the chicks (my first time with them), on...

I know it's very hard to tell at 8 weeks, particularly with Orps, but his/her demeanor is very suspicious 😂 if she isn't a Cockrel, she is definitely going to be head honcho. So here's to another update in 8 weeks 🙈

So, my 8 week old fluffy and extremely brave, protective, and curious Buff Orpington, came out of her coop this morning and kept opening her mouth and made a few sounds.. they did not sound like a crow but at 8 weeks old, she is very clearly in charge of the other 5, comes out of the coop first...

Thank you so much for all this information!! I see you have Colorado publications as a reference. I just moved to Oregon from Colorado and just seeing that made me homesick 😂 I am a little worried about all the rain here and ice storms in winter. This is all a big new chick adventure 😂

Thanks! I am already planning my first post on sexing my chickens.. I am worried that other than my dominant coppers, I might have a few roosters 🙈
