buff orington

I wanted to share these photos of my new baby chicks I have two buff orphington purebred chicks and then I have this one barred rock that was mixed with a buff orphington and I don't remember what barred rocks look like is infant sick so I don't know if it will just turn out looking like a...

This is my first flock and I’m in need of some help! I have 5 new chicks from TSC, and I think one of my babies might be a cockerel? She looked just like my other buff Orpington yesterday and then today her comb and wattles changed color and got a little darker. Do you think it’s a cockerel or...

Hi everyone! I'm Taylor & I have a flock total of 13 chickens! I first started with chickens a year ago -- I got a flock of 5 standard size hens since then I have added a rooster to that group & started a flock of 7 silkies. I document their adventures & life on Instagram @ourfeathers !! Now...

Hi there. My 2-year old Buff Orpington has a large black spot on her wattle (see attached photos). I usually pick her up from another angle so I don't see the affected wattle all that often, so I'm not sure how long it has been there. She has been limping for about 2 weeks now with no visible...

I just had to do it!! I can't help it. I walked into TSC and they were there. I could hear the cute little peeps. I walked in a trance towards the cute feather balls. Their little chirp sounds they made pulled at my heart strings. I looked into the brooders like a kid looks at presents under the...

Does a Buff Orpington Rooster and Columbian Wyandotte Hen produce a sex link chick? Because the BO is a Buff coloring and the Columbian Wyandotte is white with black around neck. So I thought it would produce a sex link chick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

I am thinking about ording some chicks to raise and breed for meat. The breeds I have in mind are Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, and Delaware. I would like to just cull some of the roos for meat and have any females I hatch as egg layers. I have a rir rooster that I want to breed...

I noticed my hen had a swollen eye 2 or 3 days ago. But after putting them up tonight, I noticed it has closed all the way. The other eye looks completely normal but the other is swollen shut. Today she seems to be almost sneezing and making weird noises with her nose. I didn’t know if she...

After 3 years of no issues, we were hit with a predator recently (probably a raccoon) and have been left with a sole hen after having 5. It's been a hard week. She's about 8 months old, has been a great layer so far, and is incredibly sweet with humans, other chickens, and dogs. We're not...

Hi all! I've been raising my first chicks for the past 10 weeks. I'm pretty confident that two of them are girls and have had a sinking feeling for a few weeks that one is a cockerel. the fourth one I was sure was female but is suddenly giving me cause for question. Help me out? Pretty sure...

I originally posted about my ill, 6 month old BO pullet here. In a nutshell, she went off her feed and was having pretty explosive green diarrhea, often chunky and reminiscent of c. perfringens photos I've seen on the web. Despite all that, she was still energetic (and a huge pain in my ass per...

Hi! I ended up crossing my Houdan rooster with one of my Buff Orpington hens (RIP) and I got this beautiful cockerel that I want to breed as well. I am not sure on his color pattern, feather pattern, etc. They are not the greatest pictures but you can see his breast in the first one, behind...

I have 2 Muscovy ducks (1 male and 1 female) and 3 hens (silkie, buff Orpington & black Australorp). We are planning on keeping them together sectioned off in our yard as they all grew up together so we are hoping it worked out. I would love to hear your experiences/advice on raising ducks &...
