Hey everyone!
I am looking to add a few bearded Buff silkies (hens and one rooster), d'uccles (hens, any color but especially mille fleur), and possibly a few serama hens.
We are also very much wanting to load up the incubators to add to our large mixed "fun flock"
This flock contains our pet...
Hello everyone! I raise pet backyard chicks and currently have 19 ranging from 5 months to 5 years in age. I have a few pullets that I can only guess as to what their colors & genetics are. I hatched them from my backyard flock, from my one rooster as the father. The rooster is supposedly...
This silkie has a brown line across its back…is it just going to be a dark buff color or is it possibly a partridge? Don’t mind the wet feet, she had pasty butt so I had to soak her butt right before the pic…
When i go to give my bantam buff Cochin hen some scritchies, she makes a distressed noise!? Maybe she thinks my hand is a scary hawk i dont want her to be scared!!
Good day too all,
I've been interested in a project for quite some time and finally committed to seeing it through!
The goal of the project:
To create a bird that is buff/lemon cuckoo in color, has a long tail, lays blue/green eggs and is able to go broody.
Brids that I have at the moment...
Rebellious one aren't ya! I like that😉
If you have had either Saxony or Buff ducks I need your opinion and maybe some pics too!
I have Seven ducklings purchased on the 12th of September and they looked like Saxony babies but now they look like buff teenagers! I'll attach pics and I would...
When I was out with the hens as they were free ranging tonight I noticed the ones beak looked off. I grabbed her to get a closer look and the tip is broke and there is some black buildup towards base of beak. Black buildup may just be dirt from pecking around yard and run. Is this cause for...
Hi everyone,
I am brand new to backyard chickens and need help.
the person I bought these off have said they are all hens and doesn’t know what age they are.
Can you let me know if you think they are all hens and an approximate age if possible?
Hi All! I am new to raising chickens and this is my first flock. They're 7 weeks old now and I have made some guesses but am unsure as to genders. I would love some input and another pair of eyes! Also Chick 9 - Stripey is a buff Sussex/cream legbar cross. Apparently both parents were buff...
I just found out I have 3 silkie cockerels. 1 black, 1 gray, and 1 buff.
I have 2 confirmed pullets-1 white and 1 buff.
Which color roo would you keep? I can't keep them all since I have other roos and my bantam flock isn't going to be that big...
The black silkie is only 3 weeks old at this...
Hi All,
I am thinning my flock and have a 2 year old (born march 2019) buff orpington for sale. She is friendly and healthy (vaccinated for Merek's). She's a bit at the bottom of the totem pole. I just have too many brown egg layers and limited space. Her name is Havana Emilio Esteves. But you...
We believe they are around 6 weeks old. Purchased from a farm store the first week of March, 2021. SLW combs are starting to turn a peach color, while buffs are staying mostly yellowish. Any help is much appreciated!
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...
We are long time chicken folks and have always raised Buff Orpingtons. Because of the pandemic we had to use Hoover Hatchery, which was new to us. Our buffs in this batch are terribly, horribly aggressive. Has anyone else had this issue?
thanks!
I am relatively new to chickens, only owning my own flock for about six months. I have taken care of them longer but I am excited to have my own!
My flock of nine consists of three silkies, two Buff Orphingtons, two Ameraucaunas, one Barred Rock, and one Blue Lace Wyandotte (my favorite).
I...
Hi there. I have a 3-year old Buff Orpington that likes to sit a lot...like, a lot. She sits under the log jungle gym in the run, she sits in the mulch landscaping bushes, she sits on my lap, she sits on patio under the table (where she currently is sitting as I write this), and now that the...
I am getting into growing my chickens, so I am a newbie.
Hope to enjoy my new hobby and pets.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to growing chickens but I did have chicks when I was young.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Still incubating...
It's been a while since I've been on this site so I hope this is the right place to ask.
Recently I just learned that a member of our flock, our sassy buff orpington hen, just passed away unexpectedly. When told this, I remembered another buff orpington hen we owned years ago that suffered the...
