Today I took my chick outside like I always do when I get home from work. Usually she tries to fly and runs around all over the place. Today however she just keeps sitting. It doesn’t seem like she is in pain or anything. Is this normal behavior? She’s almost 5 weeks old now.
I have recently started raising a buff Orpington! (And I’m obsessed with her) I read a lot online about how to sex a chick when they are extremely young and the most common way was to look at the feathers. She has the two layers of feathers and they are different lengths. Her wings are extremely...

this is Lloyd he is 7 weeks old from TSC bantam bin! He has a three row pea comb, beginning to turn red, with one large row in the middle and two smaller but still noticeable rows along the sides. I included a side profile pic for his coloring. His tail is beginning to show green iridescence. Is...
I'm new to the whole having chickens. I have 14 Buff Orpingtons. They are about 5 weeks old and am looking forward to growing in knowledge as they grow.
I have always wanted to have my own flock, so this wasn't a whim. I'm already planning on adding to the number next year. it's alot of work...
It's that time of year again. Spring has finally sprung and my geese are in full swing of laying eggs. If you're looking for eggs to hatch or goslings to raise I should be able to supply you with either. I usually charge $3 per egg or $10 per gosling. Shoot me a message and I'll get back to...
I’ve got four chicks (four months old), brothers and sisters, and I’m pretty convinced two are cockerels, one is a pullet, and one is leaning towards a pullet, but I’m not convinced. Lol
If y’all disagree with my guesses on the first 3 please let me know
Pic 1- pullet?
Pic 2- both cockerels...
Hi everyone, we are transferring soon and need to rehome our beautiful chickens! They are free to good homes only, NOT meat or laying hens. These are pets or free range ONLY! They are family raised and friendly. We have 3 Red Buff Orpingtons, 1 rooster, 2 hens, 6 months old. We have one white...
Good evening peeps,
Pretty sure she's a polish but looking for second opinions. Our EE Roo has been mating her like mad and shes been showing signs of broodiness. She is the gold colored bird in the photo. We have a white and black hen just like her with much larger more full crest. The gold...
I bought some barred bantam cochins, and one of them appears to be blue. Instead of being black like the others, the striping is a medium-light gray color. I was planning on using one of my barred roosters to start a buff barred project… And I think the blue barred one is going to be the nicest...
Hello everyone, I'm new here.
In the distant past, I kept a few chickens, ducks and rabbits...well, 40 rabbits. In the recent past, I've had only one chicken at a time which was enough eggs. Yesterday I finally got the breed I wanted - 6 Buff Orpingtons (driving my dogs crazy and keeping...
Hello I'm looking for a Buff Orpington Hen to add to my flock. If you have any that you are selling please let me know how much and where you are located. Thanks so much!
I am really confused. So you have your Plymouth Barred rock but then there are White Rocks and Buff rocks. When you refer to a Plymouth Rock chickens most people Assume Barred rocks(which i have). How did we get the different types? I guess what im trying to say is i dont understand that if...
Looking to see if anyone fairly local has 2 blue silkies. Our son lost his 6 month old cockerel Chewbacca today to a visiting neighbors dog.
He says he would like white as well. We were going to just get one more however he has a huge heart and his thought is he would like to save 2 chickens...
