Hey everyone,
We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...
Hey everyone! I'm so happy to have found this forum. I joined because I'm a new flock momma and I'm eager to absorb any information I can to better understand my chicks.
I used to help my uncle on his farm for many years with his livestock and garden and I've always wanted a home grown approach...
Hi, we recently got into having backyard chickens. We have 5 RIR, 1 Leghorn, 1 Black Copper Maran, 2 Leghorn/RIR cross and just got my Buff Orpington Rooster. I would like to add some Coachen, Brahma, and EEs. What can I breed with him to get ER that have white with lavender spots or white...
Isn’t he handsome?! “Sargent Pepper” My 4 month old BUFF ORP X AUSTRALORP cross is growing up to be such a beautiful sweet boy (he’s got those raging hormones too of course) 😊

Hello! I am in upstate NY and I started my chicken addiction a few years ago because I thought maybe I would like my youngest to experience small farm life. I initially went to the amish and bought 11 adult hens and an adult rooster. By the following spring that just wasn't good enough so I...
Kiwi is a young pullet cross of a buff orp rooster and a columbian wyandotte. She is going to be smaller than her mama and has no butt. I love her, one of my favorite crosses I’ve hatched so far 😍
I love my new chickens! Six hens — 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Dominique. A few of them just started laying. One of the Orpies lays beautiful green eggs which threw me for a loop! Was doing research and found this group which confirmed my suspicions about having an BOxEE. She also looks really...
