    Hatching eggs arrived in the mail, must I wait a bit before placing them into the incubator?

    Good morning, I just received some eggs from from Meyer's Hatchery. On their website it says to wait 12 hours to place eggs into incubator upon receipt of shipment. What is the reason for this? When i opened the box, they felt cold to the touch and it worried me a bit. They are Buff Orpington...

    Hen molting for the 3rd time since December?

    I have a Buff Orpington turning 2 soon and she’s going through another molt. I’m worried because in December there was a death in the flock which caused two of my Buffs to semi stress molt. One of my Buffs got through it quick but the other developed sour crop soon after the stress molt and...

    Sexing 1 month old buff Orpington

    Hi everyone, I have a 1-month old buff Orpington which I really wish it is a she. I don’t see any development in comb yet, her same hatch brother has already got a big red comb. I have heard Orpington mature slower and there is a chance she might suddenly grow out a comb in the next few weeks...

    How many eggs should I expect a week?

    I have 3 BO's and they are 18 weeks old. How many eggs should I expect a week? Also, I haven't seen them go into the nesting boxes once by themselves. So when should I expect the ladies go and try out the nesting boxes? I have fake eggs in the boxes but they still show no interest yet.

    Trying to identify my barnyard mix chicks

    Good morning! I have just had a salmon faverolles hen hatch out 4 chicks. The only roosters on site have been buff orpingtons. One chick is white with a little dark dot on its head, and has 4 toes and feathered feet. I suspect it is a rooster from our light brahma hen. Let me know if that sounds...

    Buff Orp and EE, Still pullets.

    They’re 7/8 weeks old now. I’m hoping they’re still pullets. Any information on why you believe Pullet or Roo is helpful. I’m brand new and trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you!

    EE and BO 6w, Still pullets?

    I’m reposting now that they’re a little older. If we have a roo, I need time to find a new home. Last time I posted everyone said they were looking like pullets still. this is my first time ever having chickens, so if you could explain why you are thinking either way that would be a great...

    Broody Chicken with Hunched Back

    I'm not sure if anything is wrong with my Buff Orpington but she is very broody and is kind of hunching over her back. She's a year old and has been perfectly healthy and maybe broody hens just look this way but I'm not experienced enough with broody hens to know. She keeps trying to share...

    HELP my chicken is sick! What should I do!

    Hi, I have a buff Orpington that's a bit more than 5 months old. She's usually a quiet and weak chicken that doesn't play around with the other chickens so much and sleeps very often. She always has her feathers puffed up. The temperature where I live ranges from about 50 - 75 degrees...
