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...
Last night my husband rescued 3 chickens from some not so great conditions. 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...
I have a 1 year old Buff Orpington hen that is acting strangely, she is panting and clicking in a way that sounds like a goose, she has an abnormally large belly, I have tried to drain it but nothing comes out but digesting food, she is a chicken that is usually heavy, but is extremely light...
Hello, we hatched these 2 buff Orpington chicks (9 weeks old today), I’m wondering if anyone can help me with gender … I’m hopeful both are pullets 🤞🏼
Thank you
I know it’s early but I like to keep guessing
We have chickens already but got them as laying hens. So this is our first time with chicks. We have 6. They were sexed with 90% accuracy so I am always expecting at least 1 to be a roo.
I have 2 that I am suspicious of
Rhode Island Red
Buff orpington
I have 8 chickens who 5 are 9 weeks and 3 are 11 weeks. These ladies (the light tan ones) are 11 weeks old and I think they are buff orpingtons. Am I correct?
Hello, one of my 2-year-old buff orpingtons has a large fluid-filled mass below her vent. She’s still free ranging, eating and drinking (as far as I can tell), moving and socializing normally, and her comb looks firm and red. Last night I gave her an epsom salt bath and sprayed vetericin on it...
So I have a small flock, 11 chickens, 12 now I guess. 9 Barred Rock hens, 1 Buff Orpington hen, 1 Buff Orpington rooster, and now this little fuzzball named Nugget.
My Buff Orpington hen, Elizabeth, was trying to hatch 3 eggs. She hatched 1 and abandoned the other 2 eggs. Looking at this chick...
Hi! My name is Nat. I recently brought home my first ever baby chicks. I am in love with their outgoing, sweet personalities and I can't wait to watch them grow!
(1) My grandfather had chickens and owned/worked a farm. This is my first experience with chickens, and I would like to open up a...
In a couple of days these four will be seven weeks old. Two buff Orphington and two Easter Eggers. Would love some help with determining which are hens and which are roosters.
So, I had searched and searched for speckled sussex chicks and finally found them at Rural King. There was two left and I bought both. They were in the same bin as the Buff Orpington chicks, a breed I have never had but wouldn't mind having. So of course with the minimum you have to buy I bought...
Hey y’all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I have these roughly 5-5.5 week old Buff Orps who have been very difficult for a while. Any guesses on genders? Thank y’all! First 3 are chick 1, #4 and 5 are chick 2. Thanks!
Hi all,
What do you think?? He or she?? There are 2 Lavender Orpingtons, 1 Black Copper maran, and 1 Buff Orpington.
They are all the same age, approximately 2 weeks old.
The Lavender Orpingtons are pullets, according to my grandma. What do you think about the other two?
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some advice for our 8-month old buff orpington rooster. A few weeks ago we noticed that the tips of his comb were turning black. There was no bleeding involved which made us rule out other forms of injury. It seemed to be getting better and returning to a more red...
I have a beautiful Buff Orpington rooster that needs a home. We are not able to have roosters where we currently live. He is 6 months old and is well mannered and gentle. I could deliver him anywhere in the Pittsburgh and surrounding area if you could provide him a safe, no kill home as he has...
Hi, I live just north of Houston in Spring, TX (77388). Desperately need a good home for my sweet, docile 5 month old buff orpington rooster. I can't have roosters in my neighborhood and I tried to keep him anyway when he turned out to be a boy, but now he's crowing NONSTOP :(
