    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Ok so I got this guy/gal around 6 weeks ago...approximate age then was 12 weeks. I'm thinking it was probably more like 10-11, so age now would be 16-18. No crowing or laying or squatting. I got more hen votes before but this just doesn't look promising. Thoughts? Also would he be crowing by now...

    Probably BO Roo near Dallas may need new home

    I think my BO is a roo. We're in the city so if he starts crowing, he'll have to go. Let me know if you're interested and you can have him if he starts crowing! Estimated age is 16 weeks.

    Buff Orp Roo?

    Updates pics! I'm leaning heavily toward roo now. He/she is about 16 weeks old.

    Missing neck feathers

    Thanks!!! :-) Now I'll just dust everyone just in case and add more catfood in to their diet! Extra mealworms too! Luckily they're bug catching machines so that'll help protein too.

    Missing neck feathers

    I'm both relieved and surprised! I had no idea they could molt this young!! I'll dust her just in case but now I won't be as panicked!! My 1 year old EE is also molting but VERY slowly....:-/

    I've been looking and I may give her a lice dusting just in case.

    Missing neck feathers

    Is it possible for them to molt that young???

    Missing neck feathers

    She's not even three months old so I doubt it's a molt. I've never heard of a bird that young molting.

    Missing neck feathers

    I'm posting this here too hoping someone has an idea. My young RIR is missing her neck feathers. At first I thought they were just slow growing in after the down fell out but it's been way too long for that. She's healthy except for this. I've never seen anyone (two other chickens, one close to...

    Missing neck feathers

    One of my older chicks (maybe 8-9 weeks...I got her several weeks ago) is the scrawniest looking thing ever. Her chick neck feathers came out but her big ones aren't coming in. She has an area that's totally down to skin on the underside of her neck and both sides are just black shafts. The rest...

    Adams Feed in Arlington has a ton of ducklings, probably about 4 weeks if I had to guess, but that should be close enough. They almost always have chicks and ducklings. I've had good luck with animals from there!

    Just the heads were wet? Like slobber wet? Could have been an overly ambitious snake. Might have killed them but been too small to get them down. Poor chickies. :-(

    Texas

    Sometimes in the heat of the day, I set my sprinkler up next to the run and turn it on really low. They seem to like it, so yours might actually like a cool shower! My mom's hens will stand in a water pan to cool off but mine won't. So they get sprinklers instead. This heat is brutal. I'm more...

    Buff Orp Roo?

    I hope you're right...I'm just detecting more rooster-like behavior than hen. He/she likes to start "fly fights" with the RIR and is very skittish with me, which I've noticed more with roos than hens. But I have everything crossed!!
