    How hot is too hot??

    Hi! I live in Southern Cali and today has been the hottest day of the year so far. It’s currently 112 degrees, and at 10am it was already 100. I have 12 chickens, and I’m worried about them overheating. They have plenty of shade, but the air itself is hot so even in the shade it’s bad. They...

    Attacked Chick with flayed back - Mama or Predator?

    Update: the chick died. This morning when my husband went to let out the chickens, he found that one of our four-week-old Buff Orpington chicks had a bloody flayed back! The chicks had been closed up by themselves in a separate coop with their "mother," a Silkie cross, and are also within an...

    When to move my chick into its coop?

    By the time we get the coop set up my chick will be close to 7 weeks old. I live in eastern Washington so it gets warm during the day, right now 70-80 degrees but at night it doesn’t get much above mid 50’s. Should I wait to move her into the coop, or will she be okay? (I only have 1 chick and...

    LF: Buff Orphingtons and Black Australorps (Connecticut)

    Hi everybody! I'm currently looking for my first chickens! I've got my heart set on some Buffs and some Australorps as their personality seems to fit what I'm looking for the best. They MUST be sexed. Zoning regulations prevents roosters in my town so they must be pullets. If anybody has any...

    In need of some advice on my new buff Orpington!

    I have recently started raising a buff Orpington! (And I’m obsessed with her) I read a lot online about how to sex a chick when they are extremely young and the most common way was to look at the feathers. She has the two layers of feathers and they are different lengths. Her wings are extremely...

    Featherless Bottom

    (Sorry if this is already online. I tried to search BYC for this but could not find anything.) I have 3 Buff Orphingtons in my flock. One in particular has no feathers on her rump area. One of her sisters was broody and my daughter was taking care of the girls for a couple of days. She kept...

    Identify breed

    Can anyone identify this chick breed. I bought 10 from a supply store under the assumption they were buff Orphington chicks. They are not. I am not sure what they are. They are just under 3 weeks old.

    Buff Orpington gender opinions/help?

    5 week old buff Orpingtons! Daisy and ducky. Dasiy seems to be bigger than the other, bigger comb, and longer tail. Ducky has less pink in her comb and a shorter tail. Do I have a boy on my hands? Thank you for your knowledge.

    Opinions on gender? Buff Orpingtons!

    3 week old buff Orpington, Daisy. I have 2 and they both have combs coming in. Didn’t get 2nd photo because Ducky isn’t as friendly. I’ve looked at full grown hens and they have a small comb, but is there any chance this could be a indication of a cockerel? Thank you!!!

    What breed? Was I sold the wrong chick?!

    Short version: Please identify these chicks! Long version: I asked for 3 Barred Rock Pullets from Tractor Supply and went home with them. The next day I visited another Tractor Supply location and saw that two of my "Barred Rocks" looked like their chicks that were labeled "Sussex." I showed...

    Supposedly speckled Sussex...

    Can anyone help me identify these hens?? I’ve had them since chicks, and they were “supposed” to be speckled Sussex (though the one I knew for sure was a Sussex sadly didn’t make it). These birds have no white speckles but have not yet molted. I have three of them - from Murray McMurray. My...
