here are two admittedly bad (my apologies) photos of my one year old buff orpington next to my 6 month old speckled sussexs. she is very small and hasnt grown much, she is perfectly healthy otherwise but i do worry. is this something i should worry about?
So I'm having to move and, unfortunately, it's not affordable or practical to take my hens with me. I've got 4 free range layers raised from chicks, and currently they're nearly done molting in preparation for winter, so no worries about last minute molting right when freezing temps arrive. And...
My buff Orpington that I thought was hen started faintly crowing. All the babies are about 17 weeks old. Karen pictured is way bigger than the rest, comb and waddles are huge. I am new at this and I know sometimes the head hen will crow. Can any one help me please!
Hello -
I have a 2 year old Buff and she is currently molting. However, I can now see a lump under her vent area. It’s soft to the touch, doesn’t seem to bother her if I touch it.
She isn’t comfortable being held currently because of molting so I haven’t been able to get a better feel.
she is...

Good morning! I was wondering when did everyone’s girls start to lay? I have two Rhode island reds, two prairie bluebell easter eggers, and two light bramahas that are 16 weeks and I have a buff orpington, white leghorn, and americana easter egger that are 8 weeks. This is my first personal...
We started with 7 chicks. 5 survived. 2 are roosters that we already unfortunately had to get rid of. We only wanted ladies all along. Rooster #2 was heavily picking on Helen/Bobby when we re-homed Rooster #1. Helen/Bobby is named that way because we had suspicions early on that it might be a...
So I bought a variety of chicks in March from Rural King including what was labeled a Buff Orpington. Now, 13 weeks later, I'm almost certain she's actually a Buff Rock since she has bright yellow legs. Naturally I'd done all my research on Buff Orpingtons and there doesn't seem to be much out...
Hello chicken lovers! I'm back again looking for sexing help, I'm pretty sure I know the outcome of this one but given that this is both my boyfriend I's favorite chicken of our flock, he insists I post it to get second opinions in case I'm just being paranoid 😂
Here is our 11 week old buff...
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 rather than the fav that...
Hi all,
I only have 3 chickens about 2 weeks old. This is my first time owning chickens and as my buff grows it is bigger than my golden and silver laced wyandottes. I don't know enough about the breed so maybe this is normal but if anyone can give some advice on if I have a male or female...
My buff orphington is 1 year old and recently was sick/injured. She had a limp and was treated for peritonitis. She has been on two medications for a week and a half and stopped them two days ago.
Today and a little last night we noticed her comb turning pink starting from the root. we’re not...
I went to check for eggs and found one of my hens licking her beak a lot. Then, she put her head down and a little clear fluid came out. She started licking her beak again after that. She's still eating and drinking. She acts like all of the other chickens. Does she have sour crop? What should I...
