    We have had our Orpingtons for years and never been attacked. They are always gentle and easy to handle.

    Giant Chicken Egg

    Update: After doing a little research we learned that the heaviest Chicken egg entered into the Guinness Book of World Records is 5.6 oz. It was laid from a chicken in Russia back in 2004. Our Buff Orpington egg weighed a whopping 6.2 oz at our local post office today. Note: There is another...

    Giant Chicken Egg

    We haven't weighed it. The hen that laid it is one of our Buff Orpongton's. Our hens are pretty big. Here is a pic of them next to a five gallon bucket.

    How many people have buff Orpingtons

    After our chicks reach 6 months old, we switch from 20% crumbles and feed: Laying Pellets (16 to 20%) - We keep Laying Pellets Available 24/7 and Chicken Scratch - in small amounts - Scratch is fed only as a treat. (We fill a 16 oz cup daily and feed 10 to 12 mature birds)

    How to stop a rooster from flogging you?!?!

    Hello Goldenseabright, You can replace your roosters right away, but I wouldn't save any of the eggs for two weeks. I believe temperament is hereditary and your hens can still be fertile from your mean Rooster for a couple of weeks after he is gone. I think you asked about the Buff Orpington...

    Not sure if I want to mess with chickens anymore

    Sorry to hear about your chicken troubles. We had our fill of the wet/dry fowl pox last year (2013), we lost maybe 15% of our flock. Knock on Wood, in 2014 we have lost less than 1% due to any kind of illness or accident. This kid of stuff comes and goes. On the bright side, the birds that...

    Showing Chickens for the first time!

    We haven't ever shown Silkies, but i'm sure its a lot like showing every other breed. You preparation is mostly done before you get there. Your bird is placed in a cage for the judge to stop and take your bird out and look it over to compare it to the other birds. I would suggest bathing your...

    Thank you Stumpy, Aronia and Vehve for you comments. The Stained Glass pieces were provided by a dear friend who volunteered to make them. Each and every little piece of glass was cut by her to create a master piece. We looked at some old churches before we ever started this project. They all...

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Thank You. They are not English. At least not in any known breeding history. We are getting ready to pic our best and start incubating. Looking foreward to the next hatch and hoping for steady improvement.
