Does anyone know where I can get chicks or POL pullets this time of year in SC? I am in Sumter, and don't mind driving to pick up some chicks. I am hoping to add a good layer breed to my small flock of marans and lavender ameraucanas. I sure would appreciate any advice you're all willing to give!

Thank you, I will do just that! They are tricky...I swear that one day I am certain I know for sure and then the next day I change my mind again! Lol

Thank you so much for your help, btw...its so nice of you to take the time to share your knowledge with a newbie! I appreciate it!

I don't...I had a little trouble getting good shots. They are sweet and friendly but very very active, lol! Thanks for the screen name compliment.

They are 8 weeks old now...I took a few other shots...

You're right...not the best pics. They are about 8 weeks old now. Should I get shots of their combs or bodies?

I purchased these sweet birds straight run, one day old...and I think I may have two roos and two pullets. It's really hard to tell with this breed, or at least I am finding it hard. Lol This is #1 --> Number #2 number #3 And #4 I'm really on the fence about them...I've heard so...

I have to say, I'm no breeder...but it looks just like my lavender americauna chicks. They are a very light color like your chick! Good luck!

Oops! * Roo not too

. you're right....saddle feathers will probably be my only indicator for a while! Good call!

Thank you! It's funny, the buffs are tougher to guess than my other chickens. My maran too looked like a velociraptor by five weeks while the girls were more....horizontal. My buffs all look the horizontal but with combs. Lol!

Right around 10 weeks...but I saw some comb development at about five weeks. Is that typical of B Orpingtons, or just the males? :-)

Hi there! I love my new buff orpingtons and if I were to limit myself to only one breed, they would be it. So sweet, curious and friendly! I have recently had four little chicks given to me and now that they are a couple of months old...I am worried that I may have all roosters. Their combs...

Wow, thanks for that Tim. I'm excited to see how it goes for us. All of mine are pure, so now I know what to expect. :-)

He is a keeper for sure! Thank you all!

Hi there! I am curious about how this match turned out? I have beautiful french standard Black Copper Marans and am running to Columbia, SC to pick up some Lavender Americauna chicks this weekend. I too would like to see how they would turn out. I have read that they will have olive eggs but...

I am a brand new chicken owner, a crazy dream finally come true for me! We purchased seven chicks, 3 Black Copper Marans, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 New Hampshire Reds. They are doing great in our house right now under a heat bulb and my husband and I are busily constructing a beautiful chicken...
