I am thinking about getting a full grown BO from a man who got them, and as soon as they started laying, he realized he had no idea how to care for them! I name all my chickens, but I can't think of anything!!! Remember: She will be a Buff Orpington, it IS a she, we already have a BO named...

I have a pullet that I was sure was a Barred Rock, the feed store I got her from even said she was, and a cockerel that a different feed store said was a Barred Rock, but a friend of mine that knows a lot about chickens said that Lady Lacey, the "BR pullet" was a Cuckoo Maran pullet, and that...

Our buff orp pullet is limping on her right leg, and we have no idea why. Instead of letting her out in the run with the rest of the chickens, we are keeping her in a dog crate with her own food, water, and grit. She also has straw bedding to keep her comfortable. Here are some pics and a video...
