    Chicken biting off her feathers

    Hi All! One of my 18 mo old buff Orpingtons has a body that is a little strange. Her neck is shorter than the other girls so she can't reach all around her body to preen like they do. She's also a little lopsided and looks like she could use a good chiropractic adjustment! She is a sweet and...

    Wet poop?

    Why different color eggs?

    Hello! My 5 month old buff Orpingtons started laying about 4 weeks ago. I'm curious if anyone knows why their egg colors are slightly different and one is noticeably speckled. They all eat the same feed, but do forage separately in the garden. Thanks!

    Too many treats?

    Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum and new to raising chickens. I have 5 adorable buff Orpington chickens that are almost 4 months old. I read that you are only supposed to give your birds 1 Tbsp of treats per day and not every day. I give my girls either oats or 7-grain Ultimate Scratch by...
