Hi,
You guys have been so helpful with any questions I have had, so thanks so much for that :)
I know there many threads on this, but I am so shocked because my cochin rooster has just tried to attack me. He is around two years old, and is a HUGE guy. Three times in a row over the past few...

Hi, my Buff Orpington hen just began laying two months ago and lays almost everyday, which is great. But the day she laid her very first egg her vent feathers because sticky and dirty and the smell was intolerable. We figured it was vent gleet so isolated her, put ACV in her water, gave her a...
Hi again!
I have 1 rooster and three hens, they are all orpingtons and about 10 months old. I know these numbers are wrong but it was intended to be a pullet and ended up being a male :/ We are very attached to him, however, just today I saw him mating the hens for the first time and it was...
Hi, I'm back again,
Thanks so much, I wasn't able to post a picture but it is confirmed that I have a buff Orpington who is also a rooster.
We are shocked to be honest, we've had them since they were chicks (8 months old now) and for 7 months the rooster looked exactly like his sisters...
Oh gosh, that was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen someone do to their chicken. Debeaking is an inhumane practice and you have just given this little red hen what is rightfully hers - a new life in paradise. Those women at the nail salon were so sweet and they didn't even charge for...
Hi,
My orpington has really messed up her rear end again, I have to wash her every couple of months anyway because of this. She is just a few months old so this is the first time I am going to give her a bath in colder weather. I really don't want her to suffer an illness because she wasn't...

Thanks for the information! She, thankfully, seems to be in really good health and there is nothing wrong with her apart from her bubbly eyes. I'll pop down to the chemist for some eye ointments later on.
Here in the UK it is quite wintery, although I don't mind waiting. I got them at first...
I thought I had posted a photo but it seems like it has floated off into cyberspace. I'll try again as soon I've figured it out. :)
BTW, thanks for your welcome!
Hi!
What breed is this chicken? I think it is an Orpington but I'm not sure. Also, is it a rooster or a hen? It is around 5 months old, but the comb and waddles are much more redder and three times the size of its companions of the same age and breed, it also has a different body shape...
Hi,
I am quite new to chickens, I have had them for around four months and I am so delighted I have made the decision to have them. They are Orpingtons with amazing personality, they will just fly onto my lap when I sit with them and just want lots of cuddles and hugs.
One of my Orpington...
