    4 chicks~ Do I Remove the EGGS?

    Hello my chicken friends. My broody Orpington accepted 4 new chicks last night. We bought new chicks that are 4 days old. They took to the MamaHen quickly. It was sweet- they relaxed right away. Mama accepted them & tucked them underneath her. They all slept well overnight. 7 hours later I...

    Do I have 2 Roosters!? 12 week old Wyandotte & Orpington

    Hello, I am new to backyard chicken farming. We purchased 7 “female” newborn chicks in April (born 4/1/20). They are now about 3 months/12 weeks old, all different breeds. We received an “extra” Wyandotte that is I believe is a rooster. Another one that I purchased, a black Orpington, is also...

    Sex these two mixed chicks

    Hi. Can you tell me if these two mixed chicks are cockerels or pullets? The bigger one, with spots on the chest is around six weeks old and kinda looks like a pullet to me, even though in its first three weeks of life it looked like a cockerel. I think it's a mix between light brahma X silver...

    Bantam Orpington

    Mixed color bantam Orpington Bantam Orpingtons are friendly, calm birds who love foraging and being outside, but do fine in confinement too. They are known, as are large fowl Orpingtons, to lay steadily throughout the winter. They are great layers of medium-small eggs. Two bantam Orpington...

    Lavender Orpington?

    I hatched this guy out 6 weeks ago from a Lavender Orpington egg. Upon hatching, he was obviously different from the rest, and I contacted the breeder. She assured me that she had no other Orpingtons besides Lavender, and she had one hatch out just like him. Am I looking at recessive genes...

    Orpington limp

    My Buff Orpington Sasha has been limping on and off her entire life. She is almost two years old. She has never had bumble foot, and it seems to come and go. When she walks she seems to lift her leg/hip up higher than all my other chooks. Recently it has become much worse, she still runs and...

    Not what i paid for...

    Purchased a month ago, was told it was a Lemon Cuckoo Orpington and a pullet. Now I've been told no to both by others. Please help. About 6 months old. Not crowing or showing interest in any of the girls. Is this a late blooming cockerel or a masculine hen???

    Is Nugget a roo?

    Nugget is a three weeks old Buff Orpi and we're starting to have suspicions that they're a rooster (or cockerel at this point.) Is there anyway to tell this or is it too early? We were sold them as pullets but I know these local hacteries can make those mistakes. They're getting their waddles...

    Baby Daisy

    Anyone know what kind of chickie this baby is? She was labeled as "russian orph", whatever that is 🙄. The guy said Orpington, but I'm not so sure about that either 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Gender? Breed?

    Hello. I have these two chicks that were sold to me as 1 Orpington and 1 buff Sussex but I don’t think those are the correct breeds I got and I’m also worried they might be roosters any ideas? 1 is 4 and a half weeks old and the other is 3 and a half weeks old. Any opinions will help. Thanks.

    My experience with Buff Orps and Past Regrets

    I got into chickens when I was probably around 8 or 10 years old. My brother who was in high school at the time played a big part in getting baby chicks. We had so many chicks (so many!! Lol), and the majority were straight run. Well one of my favorite and most remembered birds happened to be...
