    Roosting age

    My chicks are about 3 months old and still roost in a ball on the floor. They use the roosts in the daytime but sleep on the floor. Also I always free range my chickens but wonder if they will return to sleep on the floor or just ball up outside to sleep. Have had many flocks but this bunch is...

    Broody Buff

    My Broody Buff has been sitting on a golf ball for about 10 days, is is ok just to let her "Sit it out" ? I don;t have any other cage or place to put her other than in the coop so just wondered if she would eventually get the idea it isn't going to hatch.

    Help, Quail dying

    I bought 6 quail about 3 weeks ago, they have been fine, feeding the same feed as they had before and they looked healthy and happy. Yesterday one died, feathers everywhere and the bottom of the quail was where they came from, the quail was much larger than all but one other. Today the other...

    What breeds are these?

    Sorry about the pictures, The large Buff is older. I bought the others thinking they were Easter eggers, glad to here they are really eggers. Two of them seem to cock fight a lot so I thought they may be Roos. thanks to all that answered.

    Are they Hens, Roos and really Buffs?

    All our Buffs but one was lunch for the coyotes so we bough the two large chickens (when small) and thought they were Buff Pullets. They are about 4 months now and very large and act like Roosters. They are not laying and mock fight most of the time. The smaller Buff lays every day. The...

    What did it ??

    Hawks usually take the chicken and they were in deep brush cover, wild cherry bushes, coyote and the rest usually also take the chicken. Most times dogs just kill it and leave it. Around here if you lose 20 or 30 it is usually a pack of dogs. I have had about every thing get them but never...

    Chickens seem to be mourning?

    We had six Buffs, greatest free range happy chickens ever. They were all over the yard and would follow us everywhere looking for a treat.

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Buffs are the greatest, We have had six for about a year that free range but today I found two piles of feathers and only have four now. It must have been a hawk as I was outside with them and did not hear or see anything. They were part of the family and will miss the girls.
