I joined this group yesterday to post some new behaviors I was seeing from my Buff Orpington. I'm a new chicken momma and all of my girls are between 20-22 weeks. Yesterday my Buff was screaming all day and laying on the ground in the coop and just being obnoxious overall. The videos are posted...
Hey guys I have 8 mixed backyard straight run chicks that I need help identifying gender/ Breed. The possible breeds are (Barred Rock, Orphinton, Australops, Easter Eggers and less likely (Polish and Brahmas) Pretty much ruled out none or polish or Brahmas....

I am not sure what is going on with my Buff's comb. I'm not sure if I need to do something or keep watching at this point. We live in Alabama but it was 23 degrees last night and 32 the night before. I don't know if this could be frostbite or some type of bacteria. He is closed in our coop...

I have 4-5 year old chickens and ducks in need of homes. Unfortunately I'm not sure who is still laying, but some of the hens are still laying some eggs. Any of them anyone is willing to take in would be a blessing...
I'm now concerned. So, about a little over a month ago, one of our Buff Orpingtons died randomly after she was out ranging with the flock and I had put them away back in their run and coop. She had always been a weird one. She was the last one to lay, and took longer than everyone else to...
Hello again everyone!
On todays adventure, I added four baby chicks to our family. All babies are happy and healthy right now for those who have been on my other posts. I got these 4 chicks around 3 today. I have one little girl who just seems much more lethargic than the others. She hasn't been...
It’s my 1st time raising chicks and we bought 4 from the local feed store. One was supposed to be a Buff Orpington but she is growing black feathers on her neck and wings. Is she really a buff Orpington, a cross breed, or something different? So curious to see what she ends up looking like!
