Hello all my fellow chicken people. I'm on the hunt for some specific additions to my flock. If you or anyone you know of could assist, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for your kindness in advance!💝.
* One Light Sussex Pullet/ or eggs
* One Buff or Jubilee Orpington Pullet or...
5 month old lavender Orpington hen, hatched from a pure lavender hen and a split black lavender rooster. She has had the most awkward slow growth and looked like a weird rubber chicken for months, and is still looking not quite right. I’ve been so afraid of the shredded gene that I got a split...
Hi 👋
I have been living in the country with my family for several months now & have finally worked up to getting our first chickens -- really soaking in the country life. I couldn't have afforded or had space for chooks in Brisbane, but here we are now!
When I was a teenager my dad had 3...
I have two 9 week old roosters/cockerels in need of new homes. Purebred gold laced polish and purebred lavender orpington purchased from a local breeder. I adore them both but have too many roos.
Hello chicken lovers!
I love these birds but I was DUPED by ye-old Tractor Supply shortly after Hurricane Helene and ended up with some breeds I can't manage in my small flock, including a rooster that was supposed to be a pullet (begging others NOT to buy from TSC anymore! They're AWFUL!!!) I...
I bought these a month ago from a lady with many breeds together , the possibilities are Brahma - Australorps - Silkies - Easter Egger - Marans & Orpingtons
I also bought the older black one from a neighbour who had only one ayam cemani Rooster and polish and Cochins so it's either a ayam...
I'm starting this project! Right now I have a bird who's black and is split for both chocolate and mottled. He's half Exchequer Leghorn and half Chocolate Orpington. I'm actually also working a second project with him to eventually breed Chocolate Mottled Orpingtons too. So I'm growing out my...
Just wanted to share this interesting breed combo I hatched. This chick is from my splash Brahma hen and my Isabel Orpington rooster. I was surprised to see that it grew out completely dark with full barring but my rooster does have barring as well it's just very light. It's totally a...
Hi first time chicken owner. I'm not allowed to own roosters in my city so it'd be best if I can identify them early and return them to the store. I've looked up online and makes don't usually have tail feathers but the chicks comb is pretty defined this young.
Our 6 month old hen has been acting strange the past few months; walking into fences, walking into other chickens and avoiding the flock completely. We had a feeling she was blind or something wrong neurologically. On closer inspection we’ve found her eyes are indeed cloudy which is...
Okay so I have gotten several different answers so I'm coming here. I think one of my birds my be frizzling. She is just under 2 weeks, but her wings are rolling, abs have just started curling. I have attached photos. The lighter is her sister from the same hatch... I am focused on the one...
I buy feed from my local feed store. In my country they have two categories to choose from: broiler and layer.
Which of these would be the best option for a mixed flock of backyard Orpingtons? I have cockerels in a run by themselves, and they get to free range on the lawn an hour or two...
We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?
Ok, hear me out.
I am looking into the future. I would like to import some real English type Orpingtons. Bred to the UK standard. Looking for quality Black, Buff, and possibly spangled or mottled. But here’s where I’ve hit a roadblock…
Is anyone here working with Orpingtons in Europe or UK?
I...
Hello! I've been searching high and low for these breeds:
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (can be splash too, I know the BBS are common)
Silver Laced Chocolate Orpington
Mottled Orpington
Jubilee Orpington
Chocolate Orpington
Crele orpington
Does anyone know of a hatchery that has any of these...
Hello, I am in search of White Orpington Hatching eggs that can get shipped via mail, or somewhere in the north western states (Montana, Wyoming, Washington, ect...)
I would be interested in a few dozen for spring, i would like to know if they are from dominant white stock, as that's what I need.
