    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    We found peep [in shell] kicked outside the nest, the day it was due to hatch. The egg was cold to the touch. We decided to open it to see how developed it was. I peeled off the shell and the chick was unmoving and appeared dead. When we put the chick on the ground it started to move and bleed...

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    hum, well that's good to know. I wasn't breeding for sale but because I liked the hen and roo. Hen is my best layer and the roo was super big. Thanks for the information, so do you think then that a pure bred orpington- brahma would look like these but with white skin? I was just trying to help...

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    Not arguing as I am a newbie chicken owner. Both chicks had the yellow legs feet like dad, couldn't it be recessive trait?

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    I will post photos of momma and dad and you tell me as I took the eggs from under the orpington that I had with the roo. We were going to have to put the roo down and I wanted eggs from my favorite hens. I don't know how it could be anyone else unless these hens aren't orpingtons.

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    My brahma had dark yellow feet like these buff chicks do as well as feathers on their legs so they got skin color, feathers and comb from daddy. Looking at this brahma hen I don't see much of a pea comb. I was searching on the internet and the really young brahma chicks don't have much of a comb...

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    Both parents came from hatcheries and are supposed to be pure bred so I don't know what to say. I could post photos of the parents too. Here's one I just took of my 6 week old.

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    Hatch day one, and at 4 weeks. The black one is astrolorp-buff Brahma, yellow is buff orpington-buff brahma. The other chicks are bantam silkeis of the same age.

    Buff Orpington/ Buff Brahma mix?

    I actually have a 6 week old one in the house right now. Daddy was pure buff Brahma and mom is buff orpington. We have had two chicks from these chickens. Both chicks are/were buff colored with some dark feathering on the outside edges and feathered feet and super sweet and inquisitive. The...
