    Buff Orpington chick sexing 6 weeks

    My chicks are 6 weeks old. I am thinking I have 5 roosters and 2 pullets. This is my first time navigating this, and maybe it’s to soon to tell? I wondered if anyone out there could tell from my pictures who is what?

    Buff Orpington Rant thread!

    This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons. ;) But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too. If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come...

    Hi from North Carolina!

    Hi y'all! The name is Katie. I have been raising chickens for two years now and have loved EVERY second of it. What started as an original flock of 5 laying hens I found on Craigslist turned to a flock of 17 in less than my first week. :D It's safe to say I fell in love with them. My husband and...

    Four week old EE, Buff Orpington and Speckled Sussex gender?

    I know it's early but was wondering if anyone had any inklings about my little mixed flock. The ones I'm a little dubious about are the White EE with those longer tail feathers and the buff orpington with the comb coming in. Thanks in advance! Our first Easter Egger, she's got some long tail...

    Prolapsed hen with purple comb and drooping wing

    I have a 5 month old Buff Orpington who prolapsed on Friday 1/22. She also had 2 eggs in her. A friend of ours told us we needed to push the prolapse and the egg that we could see back in, as we started to do so she strain and the egg popped out and shortly after another egg followed. We believe...

    5 Best Chicken Breeds for Children

    Keeping backyard chickens is a great way for children to learn responsibility, without the obligation of daily walks or training that comes with indoor pets. The care and feeding of a small flock of hens is something even young children should be able to handle with some supervision. For...

    Five Buff Orpington's

    Just acquired five adult Buff Orpington hens. They're pretty resilient - they seem unfazed by a dog that barks now and then, me running a power drill and saw nearby, or different family members coming and going. Am I correct that it's important to provide raised areas so their feet aren't in...

    Old chicken door original barn- third bay garage, so cool!

    Hey everyone! Cleared out my garage and found an old door that must be for chickens back in the day. We were moving our small coop into the third bay of the garage where it is conveniently located. Made a nice setup and my neighbor who happens to be a carpenter made a nice little ladder/ramp to...

    Any guess on gender?

    I have three 10 1/2 week old chicks. I was wondering about gender because we aren't allowed to have roosters. There is one each of a barred rock, a Cuckoo maran, and a buff orpington. They were all bought as pullets but the maran and the Orpington have been kinda chest bumping? The maran is...

    Buff Orpington Male or Female?

    19-week-old Buff Orpington. Not crowing or anything, but the wattles and comb seem larger than what I've seen in pictures of hens.

    Are these guys both pullets???

    Welp, here’s what I know. I was sold these two “girls” from a local farm. I don’t know how old they are but both of them have smallish combs, starting to turn a little red in the face, legs are both approximately the same size. I’m a little hung up on one in particular as I see a little...

    Dead Chicks

    I ordered 36 Buff Orpington female chicks and 3 males. I spent time having everything ready and the brooder clean and set up for them. When the box was opened 18 were dead. The box had a divider in the middle and one side were happy and healthy and the other side was a pile of dead chicks. The...

    Buff Orpington Roo?

    Hello! I just bought an 8 week old buff orpington pullet, and after comparing her to my 8-10 week old buff orpington that I already had, I realized my buff orpington looked like a cockrell! I really hope this isn't the case, because he/she is one of my favorite chickens. Could I get some help...

    Frizzled Buff Orpington, or being picked on?

    Hi, my little 9 week buff orpy's feathers seem to be curling up instead of smooth like her 2 sisters. also bare spots underneath. I haven't seen any picking, but she also seems thin. Her breast bone is very prominant.

    New Chicken Lady-hello!

    Greetings and glad to be here! We finally bit the bullet and bought a mixed flock of 4 brown egg layer chicks in early April of this year when it became clear we would be spending a lot of time with our 3 kids(11,7,6) at home in the coming months! We live in the far east bay burbs of SF. It has...
