    Egg with no shell at all?

    Hey all! With the colder weather approaching, a couple of my girls are going through some pretty gnarly molting. One of my Easter eggers hasn’t been laying for the last couple weeks(I know this because she is the only one out of 16 chickens who lays very light brown eggs) due to her molt. Two...

    What gender is this? 6-7 week old Buff Orpington

    I have one Buff Orpington chick that I think is about 6 or 7 weeks old (correct me if I'm wrong), and when I got it, I was told it was a pullet, but I've been worried she's a he instead. I only have two chicks at the moment, the other is a younger EE mix who I was able to feather sex when she...

    10 week old buff Orpington - Hen or Roos?

    I have a 10 week old buff Orpington that looks and acts different than my other chicks which are the same breed/ age. They have a larger comb, redder waddles and are more shy. Do you think hen or roo? Thanks!

    Wrinkled and soft shelled eggs

    I’ve had a girl recently lay a bunch of soft shelled eggs and just found a wrinkled egg. I have an idea of who the suspect is but i’m not quite sure. It’s most likely my buff orpington who is 15/16 weeks and 4 days. I would assume that because she’s so young is why she’s having weird eggs but...

    How close is my Buff Orp pullet to laying?

    Hi everyone! My Buff Orps are 15 weeks old today and one of them looks a little more mature than the other so I'm hoping she'll lay eggs soon. She kind of does the squat thing but I read online that she doesn't necessarily have to squat to be laying eggs. Does anyone have any idea how long until...

    In the Bay Area, CA - three 11-month old buff orpington hens

    Hey everyone! I am moving out of the state in a month and sadly I will need to rehome my three buff orpington hens. They were all raised together, and they're in excellent health and great egg layers if you like fresh eggs! They usually spend half of the day in the coop, and half of the day free...

    Roo?

    I have some 10 week old factory sexed female buff Orpingtons I'm raising and selling and one of them has very red wattles and comb. The other accidental cockerels I have had were aggressive and ran over and pecked me. This bird isn't aggressive at all, so I'm stumped. I'll attach a pic of a...

    Buff Orp Rooster Temperament

    Hi all, I have a young buff orp cockerel and am thinking about keeping him since we don’t have any other roosters. I know that buff orps are usually described as very sweet chickens and was wondering if that held true for the roosters? I know that every rooster is different, but just wanted to...

    Ducklings with bald spot on head

    I have 10 one week old ducklings of different breeds, and I noticed yesterday that my two buff orpingtons have both gotten a bald spot on the tops of their heads. It's a little worse than it looks in the picture. They're the only ones like that, but I'm not sure if that's normal "losing their...

    Confirm my suspicions?

    Hello! So I have 6½ week old chicks that I have hand raised as our broody bantam rejected them completely. I have 2 black Australorps, 1 Buff Orpington, and 1 Easter Egger (was sold as an Araucana but I'm fairly certain that's not the case) All were bought at a local feed store and were marked...

    3 week old BO cockerels?

    Hi all :frow I currently have 7 BO chicks and am noticing some differences between some. I have 4 that have basically no tail feathers yet (just little pin feathers starting), and appear to stand taller than the others. The other 3 have 2-3 inch tails, and seem almost "fuller" when it comes to...

    New and need help identifying sexes and breeds

    Hi all! I recently purchased seven chicks and its probably still a bit early to confirm sexes and breeds for sure but I'd appreciate any help you could provide on this! I know at least two chicks are not the breed we thought we bought, I now suspect they are Olive Eggers. The others I think...

    Is This a Buff Orpington?

    I was sold this chick at a few days old from a feed store as a Buff Orpington. Now I’m wondering if it’s something else as all the pictures I see online, Buff Orpingtons are much lighter and my chick is darker. My chick is now 6 weeks old. And any guesses on gender would be great too! Thanks!

    My Little Flock

    So we've had our girls (hopefully all are girls) since 03/28/21, and we believe they were somewhere around 5 days old when we got them. Based on their development they seem to be almost 4 weeks old now. They had a field trip outside and we finally got some better photos! I'll do individual...
