    Which chicken breed laid this egg?

    This may seem like a silly question when you see my chickens and which breeds I am discussing here. Buff Orpingtons, Polish (unsure if bantam or large fowl), and an Easter Egger. This afternoon’s egg haul. The brown ones are my SGs. Bottom one is my 1yo KC duck’s. Top white egg is the one...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    The infamous question: Roo or Hen?!?

    Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...

    SC Pee Dee 4 Buff Orpington Roosters

    hi! I am looking to find a home for my buff Orpington roosters that hatched on may 6. They are really sweet, just do not have the space they need in our coop. They hatched from a school embryology project I completed with my class. They love people, are friendly.

    First Time Broody, All Died

    I had a 1 year old Buff Orpington go broody a few weeks ago. She started with 9 eggs and they all died despite her being very faithful - wondering what happened and how we can improve next time. I’m thinking possibly the heat (has been 100+ degrees here in Alabama and very humid) as well as...

    [ʀᴇꜱᴏʟᴠᴇᴅ] Hen suddenly falling asleep while standing, droopy tail! | 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵: 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦

    I have an 11 month old Buff Orpington hen named Maisie. I went out about an hour and a half ago to the run and saw her falling asleep while standing. I quickly grabbed her and brought her in and gave her two Calcium Citrate+D3 pills (630mg total) just in case she may be egg bound. I also gave...

    Buff Orpington 14 weeks pullet/cockerel?

    My buff orpington is 14 weeks old. I think it's a pullet because so little comb and wattle development but it has the marks where the spurs will start forming and it has the funny eyebrows that roosters get. I've never seen it this prominent in a pullet before, but I'm new to raising chickens...

    New Member here!

    Hello fellow chicken friends. I have grown up with chickens my whole life living at my mom and dads and recently became married and bought a house. We had an existing coop with a small run that was already on property. We ripped out the old run and built a 15’x20’ run. We purchased 20 chicks...

    Is this a Buff Orpington?

    Hi! I am hoping this is a buff orpington (as that is what the local feed store told me she was... also not sure its a she but just putting it out there 😁) I'm a first time chicken mama, so I'm still learning about the various characteristics of breeds. If she's not a buff orpington, then I'll...

    Buff Orpington girl won’t leave nestbox in dead winter

    Hi all you smart people out there; I have a 10 month old Buff Orpington girl who spends the entire days in the nest box - in the middle of the coldest winter in years in Sweden - without laying any eggs. She will eventually get up and roost at night, but she runt to the preferred nestbox early...

    Just for fun: what am I!?

    Just for fun, as we got an assortment of a barnyard mix for our broody from a friend a few weeks ago. She wasn't even sure if some of the eggs were fertilized or not (details in another post) But out of 12 I popped under our broody, 6 hatched (4 nonfert, 1 busted, 1 died about a week before)...

    What is this in my eggs?

    These eggs are from my Buff Orpingtons. They often have what looks like dirt in them--sometimes stuck to the yolk, other times little flakes or specks floating in the white. I'm 100% sure it's not from the shell or dirt that fell in; it definitely originates in the egg. What could it be?

    Welcome to Rusty Bucket Farm! This is Rusty, age unknown, maybe 5ish: We adopted him after his first life as a pet came to an end. He's kind of living out his retirement with us, although we managed to get a handful of lovely chicks from him this year. Looks like a Niederrheiner or a variant...

Two buff orpington hens and one barred rock rooster - 8 mo old.They're all a little skittish after being cooped up for their entire lives. Looking to re-home them to more humane conditions. I would integrate them with my...
