    Oh really??? Are they buff or lavender? I think the L's lose some of their friendly breeding for the look. We got these when they were tiny chicks, so they've been subjected to handling since early on.

    Thanks! Yeah, you're totally right. They climb and perch on all of that. Just want them to have fun in there. We're about to add one more bird: A barred rock. She hatches in a couple days. But the buff orpingtons are awesome. Our 2-year old marches out there and picks them up and they just go...

    Hey thanks! Our winters are cold. I'm mean, not Montana cold. But our average winter low for January is 24 degrees. But it can drop lower than that for sure. Just not the norm. Should I (like the other post mentioned) leave it in there for the occasional cold? And with that, I guess I'm...

    First time chicken owner. In the mountains and had to build something sturdy with electric (for the bears). So far, the birds are good. We have 3 hens. Two buff orpington and one black sexlink. They'll being laying eggs in November I think based on their age. THE QUESTION: I purchased a 5-6...
