    Need advice on Orpington colour Genetics!

    Hi fellow genetic lovers, I have a black split lavender Orpington rooster, and I hatched 7 of his offspring, one of which was from a buff Orpington hen. The chick is a dark brown with buff colour leaking through. Would this chick carry the lavender gene and be considered a split? and what would...

    Rooster Trouble Question

    What sex are my Orp chicks?

    9 weeks old and I’m curious to know what sex everyone else thinks they are. I’ve previously only had legbar/warren crosses and it’s quite easy to tell with those!

    Bald spot in back of the neck

    One of my Orpington pullets (9 months old) is losing feathers at the back of the neck. I have no idea how this is happening. Last week she got a bit quiet and aloof. But she appears to be eating properly. Although I have a nasty Orpington hen that will peck at the three pullets, she usually...

    Thoughts on what breeds these are? Cochin, Brahma, RIR, PBR, B. Orpington?

    I’m a complete newbie; starting out with 8 chicks, hatched 11/4/2019. I wanted a variety and thought it would be fun to figure out what they were from a couple of the Meyer’s assortments. I ordered 3 from the production pack, 2 from the rare assortment, 2 from the rainbow assortment and also...

    2 Year Old Buff Orpington Sick - I don't know what's wrong

    In the last few weeks my 2 year old Buff Orpington hen has had a droopy, purplish comb. She's been eating well and getting around find, so I haven't worried about it.

    Lethargic, sleepy chicken

    My hen has been lethargic all day long. She has been just laying on the floor of the coop with her eyes shut, basically like she's dead. She has barely walked today and did not eat/drink. I brought her inside just now because I'm worried whatever she has will spread, if its contagious. However...
