    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    These are difficult decisions but they have to be made. It's hard to take any of them in. Thank you for your support.

    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    I have about 25 hens. Tomorrow is the big day for the roosters. I have probably 15 Maran and Maran-cross roosters. I was thinking of keeping one huge Austrolorp rooster, one small rooster, which I don't know what breed it is, and possibly all three of these Buff Orps. But I may just take...

    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    I'm considering keeping them regardless. They are docile and quiet and do not harass the other birds. And they add some color to my flock of Austrolorp, Maran and Welsummer hens.

    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    Really bummed about these. I think they are all boys, too.

    Roos?

    I don't know the different comb types so I'm not sure how to answer that. Now that I study the pics, they probably are both Maran/Austrolorp crosses. I bought a flock that included mostly Marans and Austrolorps and a few of these cross-type birds.

    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    I'll get better pics tomorrow. I actually have three and I can hardly tell them apart. I saw one crowing yesterday but didn't have my phone handy. Now I can't figure out which one it was. I was trying to discern the saddle and hackle feathering, too. Both saddle and hackle feathers looked...

    Hen or Roo Buff Orps

    Here are a few pics of two different Buff Orps. Hens or roos? If you think they're roosters, please tell me why. I'm new to this and am trying to get better at identifying the genders. Thanks.

    Cardboard Boxes for Transport to Processor?

    What did you eventually use to transport your birds, Jennyf? I have to take 20 birds on a 2.5 hour trip in two weeks.

    Can you help me identify my breeds?

    The silver one is very small compared to the others, like a mini chicken.

    Can you help me identify my breeds?

    The silver laced Wyandotte is very small. We've a hen and rooster and they are both tiny. Is that typical?

    Can you help me identify my breeds?

    I'll have to check that tomorrow. What color would confirm Australorp?
