Please Help! Odd Behavior Following Attack / Sick Chicken
A fox got into my chicken coop but luckily we heard the hens and scared the fox off before they could get seriously hurt, they were shaken up for a few days apart from one who was showing very similar behaviour to yours, we had to feed her by hand and use a syringe to slowly drop water to her...- jessthesheepy

Review by '' on item 'Orpington'
I love my buff orpington, she is very friendly towards me and gets along really well with my bossy light sussex, she stops being broody as soon as she is removed from her nesting box(not that she is broody often anyway).

*Buff Orpington Thread!*
I was unsure about getting a buff initially as I'd never had one before and I was unsure if my bossy Sussex star would be a bully to a new hen. However after owning a buff for 5 months, I would highly recommend the breed! Of course all hens are different but my buff is amongst the friendliest...- jessthesheepy

Thanks! Haha I can catch mine but they start flapping as soon as I put them in the water, I think it cooled them down though :)- jessthesheepy

Hot chickens!
It's 24 degrees celcius today and despite shade & ice cold water and putting her feet in water, my buff Orpington is still panting and being extremely lethargic! I don't want any of my flock to overheat...any tips on keeping your chickens cool in hot weather? :)- jessthesheepy

Drooling chicken?
When I was with my Sussex Star today I noticed that she drooled a couple of times and my buff kept pecking her beak which she never normally does, my Sussex Star is behaving normally and laying/eating/drinking normally so I might just be being paranoid but it's better to be safe than sorry Any...- jessthesheepy

*Buff Orpington Thread!*
