buff orphington and lavender Ameraucana 9.5 weeks. Hope I got some good pictures. Just anxious because I only got 6 chicks and I don’t need any more roosters… thanks in advance.
(My first for both breeds, my first straight run gamble..only have once of each so I have nothing to compare to...
Cream Legbar hen in the front, CL rooster in the back
The buff hen is getting some pretty feathers.
finally caught a pic of an F1 Grass Dancer cockerel. His feet have much stronger feathering than the hen (top left corner)
I am wondering if anyone has guesses on my 7 week old Buff Orpington and 7 week old EE.
Buff Orp:
Easter egger/mutt really has me stumped. Her tail feathers grew in super early and she's pretty timid, but comb seems to be growing.
Closeup of Easter Egger, in some lights the comb looks...
Stuck at work currently, wanted to share my three newest arrivals (since, ya know, I can’t be at home snuggling them). Bertha and Nugget hatched yesterday around lunch and Dale hatched early this morning. Will use this thread as my photo dump for these little ones as they grow up.
Bertha...
Hi there, I’m only just over a week in to starting my first flock and I’m loving it! However in my obsession, I’ve started doing some research into sexing chicks… can anyone confirm my suspicions- are these two little chicks cockerels compared to the others in their respective pictures which I...
One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can. When she is laying it seems like she’s trying to squeeze something out so I’m thinking she may be egg bound, however she...
Since I have plenty more room for at least 3-4 more chooks, I'm on the hunt for a few new girls to expand my little feather family. I'm in the Florence-Richland area of Mississippi. I also plan to sell some eggs and help my community out because egg prices are going up.
Looking for the...
This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons. ;)
But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too.
If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come...
Hello,
I am looking for some help with my buff orph that is about 6 months old. As of this morning when she came out of the coop she had a whistling breath and was sneezing. She also has a runny nose. I've given electrolytes in the water and then was told oregano would work better. So currently...
Hello,
About a week ago I lost 4 of my 6 chickens (pullets) to a fox attack. I am trying to replace them ASAP so the other 2 are not too lonely, although they seem extremely bored and a bit different than before. For example they crave attention a lot more and come running much quicker than...
Hi everyone. I got my first chicks on April 4th 2020. I was told I was getting 2 female Buff Orpingtons, 5 female Black Australorps and one male Black Australorp. This was all true except I believe one of my female Black Australorps is actually a male Jersey Giant!! Surprise!! I have 2 males. 😬...
I got into chickens when I was probably around 8 or 10 years old. My brother who was in high school at the time played a big part in getting baby chicks. We had so many chicks (so many!! Lol), and the majority were straight run. Well one of my favorite and most remembered birds happened to be...
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 all, I went to put my chickens in their coop tonight and found my 2yo buff Orpington hen lying on her back next to the ramp, with one foot in the air, toes curled. I picked her up and did not see any sign of injury, but when I put her down again she walked a few steps and almost fell. She is...
This just happened, and I immediately rushed on here to try to find some answers, as I couldn't find a definitive answer online. Help would be greatly appreciated!
A buff Orpington hen of mine has had diarrhea for about two weeks now. Her back feathers show it. I hadn't worried because...
Two weeks ago I received this little buff Orpington from Mcmurray. She’s currently divided from the other chicks by hardwire cloth and allowed to mingle with them when I’m out to supervise. I noticed last week her nose seemed to be bleeding slightly and assumed it was from her sticking her beak...
I've got this cross in my incubator at the moment and I know it will be a sex link but I’m wondering if anyone has pictures of chicks or adults from this specific cross?
I’ll add my own pictures to this thread when they are hatched but that will take a while!
