    Hi! I have two buff Orpingtons I’m becoming obsessed with. Can anyone tell their sexes? I have labeled the photos of the two birds #1 and #2. I hope this is clear. Please tell me they are pullets!! Nearly 4 wks old. Thanks!

    What’s going on with my Buff Orphington?

    The other day I noticed my buff Orpington hen was huddled by herself while the rest of the flock foraged around. I went over to investigate and noticed she had a pale comb. She won’t eat, she won’t drink and she’s barely moves. She is separated from the rest of the flock until I can figure out...
