    My ducklings are about a week and a half and have started having a lot of white droppings. I'm feeding 20% chick starter and I add nutritional yeast.

    Orpington temperament

    I have a buff pullet who is the sweetest girl I've ever had and I'm thinking of getting more orpingtons. I'd like to know what yalls experiences are with different varieties of orpingtons? Are they friendly and gentle? How are the roosters? We have a lot of lavender orpingtons in my area.
