    Buff orp missing

    if you dont see a lot of feathers in a patch, she could just be off laying eggs. Wait a month or so. If you get a new one, make sure that it isnt a roo. We once had a buff orp roo that attacked everyone that came within 20 feet.

    Boy? Girl? Breed??

    My guess is crossbreeds. Both probably have a sultan or something as a parent. "Piper" might be spangled sussex, "Her" "Sister" might be black minorca or sex link.
