Whatever is wrong with my rooster came on suddenly. He was acting completely normally, but yesterday afternoon when I went out to gather eggs and feed scratch, he never came out for scratch. He has four hens with him so he's always the first out and is always very vocal when he hears me coming...

Hello, I was given this information awhile ago and just wanted to confirm if you all think this is accurate. I'm just trying to determine what colors I should when I breed in the spring. Here's what I was given: Blue to blue = 50%blue, 25%black, 25%splash Black to blue = 50%blue, 50%black...

Two of my father's buff orpington hens have gone broody. They were hatched on April 25 and they just started laying the first of September. So after laying just a month and a half, two are broody. Is it normal for hens that young to go broody?? I've had lots of experience with broody hens...

Yay! I got my first egg from my buff orpingtons today! They were hatched on April 25, so I knew it would be soon, but it was still a very nice surprise this afternoon when I found it. It is a lovely brown egg, and not as small as I thought it'd be.

Hi, I've been researching Kinder goats and would love to see if anyone on here has them, or breeds/raises them. Thanks!

Hi there, I want more info on Speckled Sussex, from people who have them. I have a four month old hen and my uncle has a four month old rooster that he will give me, if I want it. They are both lovely birds, so am considering getting the rooster. Are they normally docile and quiet as my hen...

Hi, Not sure if this was the right place to post or not, but just wondered if anyone might have any ideas of what happened. I've got a beautiful flock of 12 Buff Orpingtons that hatched on April 25, so 4 months old this week. I saw the flock two or three times this morning and know that they...

I have two broody Silkies right now. Each was sitting on five eggs, all due to hatch around the same time. One hen has already hatched two. The other hen, who I checked just a few hours ago, still didn't have anything going on. No obvious cracks or anything on any of the eggs. We just went...

Hi there, I've searched this but have found different answers, so thought it best to ask all you experts on BYC. We're building our new coop for our buff orpington pullets. My husband wants to know what size nest box you recommend and what height off the ground? We were thinking of using...

Hi, This will be my first time hatching eggs from my own broody. I may be off a day or two, but my blue Silkie hen has been sitting since June 3. There's still nothing going on with her eggs. Should I just wait patiently? Is there still a chance they will hatch? Am I being overly anxious...

I've never posted pictures here before so not sure if this is going to work...but am going to give it a try. This should be some pictures of my Buff Orpingtons as new chicks. They are 7 weeks old now and gorgeous.

Hi, Am I correct on this??...... if I breed my Splash rooster and my Blue hen, I can get blues, blacks and splash. I believe that's what I was told....that I would get some of each. Also, what would happen if I crossed my Splash rooster with my Buff hen? Just a mess of colour??? I want...

Hi, I have one buff orpington chick with a splayed leg. It is over a week old now. It eats, drinks and poops normal and has grown as well as the others. Seems healthy, no chirping, and is able to get around. It just doesn't run and play much with the others as it's not able to walk as well...

Hello, I have 12 buff orpington chicks. They are 5 days old now. They are all strong and vigorous and eating and drinking well. I did notice, yesterday, however, that one chick has one splayed leg. The right leg is fine but the left leg sticks off to the side some. He walks a little funny...

Hi. I haven't been able to find any breeders in Canada. Does anyone know where I can get bantam orps?

Hi, I'm still new. So far, we just have our six beautiful Silkies but are planning on more chickens. I just recently went to a Poultry Show and loved seeing all the new colours. Some of the large breeds were absolutely gorgeous but I couldn't believe how big they were. I think I find them a...
