    3w/o BO chick - Cockerel traits early on, or no?

    Hey all, I know 3 weeks is too early to definitively sex... this is my favorite little chick - incredibly chill, sits right in your palm and falls asleep, and looks you right in the eyes. (just like a buff orpington chick we hatched a year ago that is one of our hens)... So I’m not noticing any...

Chick #1 is 8 week old buff Orpington ( I have my doubts on the breed). Chick #2 is 7 weeks old light Brahma ( which is probably...

    My experience with Buff Orps and Past Regrets

    I got into chickens when I was probably around 8 or 10 years old. My brother who was in high school at the time played a big part in getting baby chicks. We had so many chicks (so many!! Lol), and the majority were straight run. Well one of my favorite and most remembered birds happened to be...

    Help!! Pullet or cockerel ?? 3 weeks old

    Can you please help me identify if my buff orpington is male or female? She was marked pullet but her comb is developing faster than my other chicks. They are almost 3 weeks old. Thank you in advance!

    Is it normal to see their pink skin as they begin to feather?

    First time chicken mama over here and we’re loving it! However, our babies are almost 3 weeks old and they’re beginning to feather, but we’re not sure if it’s normal to see so much pink from their skin when they do. They seem happy and never seem to be itching or pecking at their skin. Also...

    Buff cockerel??

    Hey guys!! I realize I am jumping the gun on sexing as my guy is only about 2-3 weeks old. But...I am suspecting this fella is a cockerel! this is based on comparison with his suspected “pullet” sister’s appearance characteristics. She doesn’t have as pronounced comb and legs are much more...

    Hi, this is our 2 1/2 week old Buff Orpington. Can anyone tell what gender he/she is? I am afraid it is a rooster. Such a sweet and friendly chicken! Thank you so much.

    Rooster or hen?

    I’m pretty darn sure this is a rooster, but he/she is not crowing in the mornings. The two buff Orpingtons are not quite laying eggs yet. They are 6 months old, got them as babies the beginning of August. What do you all think? I want to be sure before I have to give him/her away since I’m not...

    Darla - Buff Orpington. My daughter's favorite bird. Darla is always the first to notice if I have any treats and will do whatever it takes to get one, and another, etc. She's right in the middle of the pecking order. The SLWyandotte's are above her and she's above the Barred Rocks.
