My two buff orp hens were born at the end of May - I've been waiting anxiously since about the end of september for them to start laying, and today, I got my first egg!! SO, so excited!!!! :)
This is the more "mature" looking of my girls, they were born the last week of May (near memorial day).
Do you think she's getting close to PoL? I'm SO impatient!
Thank you for looking! :)
I have three chickens that my husband brought home from work (he works at a school, and a science class hatched them out) about two weeks ago. They were approx. 2-3 weeks old when he brought them home, so they are somewhere between 4- 5 weeks old now. I'm pretty sure two of them are buff orps...
I'm pretty sure that these babies of mine are buff orpingtons (or crosses that look similar to them), but I am far less able to figure out gender.

I took the girls (I'm assuming they're girls until proven otherwise at this point, lol) outside for about 10 minutes today. I had to shoo them off of my lap several times, but they seemed to enjoy pecking at the grass and chasing each other around. :)
One of my new babies has fuzzy downy legs.. is that normal? Is it a breed thing? The other two are more feathered out than she is, but don't have the leg fuzz..
One of the others, for comparison:
Hi everyone!
My three babies come home today! I know they won't be ready to go outside for a little while yet (they are about 3 - 4 weeks old), but I'm shopping for a coop now so I'm prepared when the time comes. Ideally, I don't want to spend more than about $250-$300, tops.

My name is Melly, I'm from western NY (a suburb of Rochester). My husband is bringing home three "mystery chickens" from his place of employment on Wednesday and I am SO looking forward to raising them with my 13 and 11 year old!
I also look forward to being an overly talkative, post-happy...
My husband is bringing home three free baby chickens from work on Wednesday - He works at a high school and they were a science project. I have no idea what breed(s) they are. They are about 3 weeks old, and the darker colored one's gender is marked "highly questionable". Any thoughts?
Thank...
