    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.

    Sick BO Pullet - Please Help

    Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...

    Bloody feathers and poo, but just one.

    My BO has bloody feathers around her vent this morning and I found a single bloody poo in the coop. She’s behaving fine and her poos now look completely normal. She’s not laying yet, but should be getting close. I’m not sure what to do. Could it be coccidiosis with just one bloody poo or is it...

One of the Buff Orpington cross chicks is more yellow in the face and has a rose comb, the other is less so, smaller and has a single comb. I can't tell what kind of comb the...

    Buff Orpington Roo with Silver Laced Polish - Yes or No?

    Hello chicken experts! I have a mixed flock of 11 and 10 week old chicks, one of which is a Buff Orpington cockerel. Two of the pullets are Silver Laced Polish. I've read a little bit about the Polish and get the impression that they are on the delicate side and also smaller than the average...

    What's wrong with my hen?

    I've noticed over the last few months that my hens comb has changed color. It used to be bright red and now to me it looks pale and looks like it has shrunk. Here is a picture from 2018 vs 2019. What do you think has caused this? She is 2 years old. She also is missing butt feathers that are not...

    Buff orpingron doesn't like husband

    I have 2 bufforpingrons... we got them as eggs and have raised them. The will hopefully begin producing eggs in late September early October. About a month ago, the less dominant hen has begun "bullying" my husband: pecks, charges, growls or yells anytime he is near her-- and no one else. Why...

    Buff Orpingtons gender?

    Hi, all! Firstly, I have seven lovely chicks that I got from Meyer's as a sexed as female group. Two of them are Buff Orpingtons. It's six weeks in and Dorothy and DT don't look the same. I'm worried Dorothy might not be a lady. Her comb is larger, much redder, and she has noticeable wattles...
