Hello all We've had 2 chickens since last year and this is my first time dealing with a worrying situation so please forgive my ignorance. We have an 8 month old Buff Orpington. She has been broody for about 2 days now. As this is my first time experiencing a broody hen I have been unsure on...

I got 3 little female chicks from Southern States yesterday to add to my flock of 5. They are doing quite well! One Ameraucana, I think I'm gonna name her Tzipporah: One Buff Orpington, I'm gonna name her Sappho: And one Blue Plymouth Rock, name as of yet undecided:

My buff Orpington is 7 months old, she became sick a few days ago. One of her eyes was swollen and had bubbles in it. But we have started treating her with Neosporin and saline twice a day. But now it seems like she is unable to breathe very well. She raises her head and takes a long breathe...

My Buff Orpington is about 4-5 years old. She went missing one day and we couldn't find her anywhere in our yard. We checked everywhere and ended up assuming she must've jumped the fence and took off. About 10 days later our son was doing yardwork and found her stuck behind a shed, wedged...

I thought it would be interesting to keep progress pictures of my chicks, since A.) I'm obsessed with everything they do, and B.) I'm curious about how my Easter Eggers will change. :D I bought the first four flower girls 4 weeks ago, and the second group 2 weeks ago. Excuse the double...

My 4 month old Buff orphington pullet has these black spots on her comb. I’ve searched this forum and google but am not clear on what this is and would like informed opinions. These chickens are well cared for. Just popped up recently. Have 3 pullets total and “Dixie” is the only one with this...

i have Just raised my first batch of 9 chicks a mix of pekins, Wyandotte and 1 buff orpington. I took a photo of them every week and thought you may like to see the results. I kept the two pekins named Jody and Iron Man, the rest all went to new homes around 7 weeks old. Please ignore the...

Hi, I’m pretty new to backyard chicken. Got 3 baby chicks that are close to 5 weeks old. (Rhode Island Red, Silver laced Wyandotte and Buff Orpington). I took them outside to play in the yard and the Rhode Island Red and Silver Wyandotte stated to take their dust bath for like 15-20 minutes...

I bought a BO rooster a couple months ago. He just turned one and he is very aggressive. I can’t go anywhere near the coop or run without being attacked multiple times. He just won’t give up no matter what. Any suggestions on what I can do or should I just get rid of him? I attached a picture...

I Do Not Want To Do This... but it cannot be helped. I need to give away my four 8-month old Buff Orpingtons. They are VERY friendly, will sit in your lap for as long as you want to pet them, come running when they see you, lay one egg every day, PERFECT pets for children to learn about...

I got my buffs 9 weeks ago, so they’re between 9 and 10 weeks. Some days I’m convinced I have all pullets, other days I’m convinced I have a bunch of cockerels. The two smallest and most pullet-like ones love to puff up their feathers and chest bump each other. Three of them are larger and have...

So my babies are getting big...I think almost 4 weeks sometime next week. Was told they're most likely EEs. Also have 2 BOs. One seems 3 of the EEs has yellow legs, one has a green-ish tinted to them. My understanding is there isn't really a "standard" for EEs in regards to colors, combs, face...
