    What breed is this girl?

    I had these 2 several years ago and I know one is a buff orpington but not sure about the other. The black and white hen had feathers on her legs. Can anyone tell me what breed she is. I really liked her and want to find another.

    Colored eggs

    I am looking for advice on the best breed(s) for colored eggs. I really would like the friendliest breed since I keep them more as pets. The eggs are just a bonus!

    I have a buff orp pullet that I got as a tiny chick for my broody girl who would not get off the nest. The chick was rejected and attacked so I've been raising her separate from my other two.

    Sick hen

    Hello I'm new to keeping chickens. I've had two young adults who lay one egg each every day. I feed them laying feed, greens either turnip or romaine, kitchen scraps of veggies and fruit and an occasional batch of earth worms as a treat and I move their enclosure every 2 weeks so they have wild...
