Thanks so much to you all for the compliments on the sign. Hubby is a talented artist. We wanted a 'folky' hen, and I think he captured our buffs perfectly! We had a lot of fun together making it! I so agree with Meetthebubus---Can't believe some people! Eggs in the store here are around or...

LOLOLOLOL!!!

We have 6 buff orpington hens. We JUST sold our first doz. eggs! Hubby and I made and painted a sign together that we are pretty proud of. We put it out by the road with a table and an old covered iron pot. A small sign on the table says FRESH FREE RANGE EGGS, $5. DOZ. LEAVE MONEY IN POT. We...

MAY, 2017~We have 2 more buff orpington chicks, Clementine and Olivia, to add to our apprx. 15 month old flock of 4 BO hens, Prissy, Hannah, Bella, and Maisie. So far the new chicks---now about 2 months old, are in a cage in the run in daytime and in the cage in the coop at night---the 'look but...

LOVE all your photos! Gorgeous!

"PILGRIM CHICKENS"! Lol, we are historical reenactors and we live in a 240 year old house that we DIY restored for years. We also 'tricked out' our chicken coop with 'antique' features to go with our house. Since we love everything 17thc., I thought it would be funny to do a little photo shoot...

They were made to go around the head and tie at the back. If they are small enough, (right size) they stay on. KInd of tricky to GET them on, lol, cause they shake their little heads!!

Our 4 buffs had the same thing happen. They now each have a hat---every one a different color! Here are photos of one, Hannah the hen, with hubby wearing hers! She is a doll who loves to be with us, sit on our laps, and come in when she can!

After one of our buffs got a touch of frostbite on her comb in terribly cold weather here in NH, they now each have a handknit hat for super cold nights or days! We have 4, and each has a different color hat! I took these cute pictures of hubby with Hannah the hen---she loves to be with us...

LOVE the aprons! I made scarves for our hens for our Christmas gallery photos on our website! One got a little frostbite on her comb during a frigid spell and that was it; we just got 4 knit hats for our 4 buffs for Christmas, and they wear them at night or day and night if it's going to be...

"daddy-buff"?!?? Dec. 29, 2016~ Adam went out this morning to give the hens a bowl of corn and cranberries. I looked out the window and immediately started laughing. I grabbed the camera and took a few photos---This was completely unplanned---so random! ---Adam's jacket and red hat made him...

Thanks, Spice girls! I literally bought one $2. square of red felt on Etsy-(apprx. 12 by 18 inches). I cut strips about 1 inch wide the long way. I put one side up and through the other, guestimating a good size to fit the chickens---not tightly! I then used red thread and sewed them together...

SOME PHOTOS OF OUR OWN '18th century coop, FORT ORPINGTON', AT CHRISTMAS TIME. ~NOVEMBER 25, 2016~ OUR FOUR BUFF ORPS, PRISSY, MAISIE, HANNAH, AND BELLA SEE SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME!! (Plus a few photos of our 'Christmas coop'!!)

Hi, she is standoffish, goes by herself and sits in sun under a tree. She seems to be eating fine. She was the leader, now she won't 'fight' for her treats---kind of hangs back when I bring the loved corn out in a bowl. She is pale all over, comb and wattles too. Hubby thinks she IS getting new...

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US.... We have 4 buff orpington hens about 9 months old or a little less. One is losing feathers all over the place and has other signs that she is moulting, but I didn't think they did at this age. The thing that concerns us and that I am worried about is that she is...

YAY FOR HUG A CHICKEN DAY!!! I MADE RED SCARVES FOR OUR HENS. JUST TOOK THIS OF HUBBY YESTERDAY FOR OUR UPCOMING ANNUAL CHRISTMASTIDE GALLERY. http://www.thecountryladyantiques.com

Months ago my friend Marcia, a most talented maker of baskets crafted this broody hen carrying basket for me and we have it hanging on a beam in our 240 year old house. Today my husband put one of our buffs, Hannah in it and they both looked so darn cute, I grabbed the camera and took this...

We just got our first 2 eggs last week from 2 of our buff orpington girls. The one who laid the first egg was the LAST one we had expected it to be! Maisie, while perfectly formed and with bright red wattles and comb was always quite a bit smaller than the rest and was lowest on the pecking...

Wow, seems like lots of us have a 'Bella'! Lovely bird, by the way! We got our 4 buff orpington chicks last April at one month old. I had picked out 3 names, and hubby came up with BELLA for the 4th, and ours is a sweetie too! A few weeks ago our Bella was limping a bit, probably from a jump...

Johnn~Beautiful ladies, and what a gorgeous background! Looks like a lovely place to be!
