(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am relatively new to raising chickens though my best friend has had them for over thirty years so I feel like I've learned a lot in the past six months or so that I've been raising them. All of my birds have been raised from 2-3...

I'm considering creating a new breed so to say. I love my Jubilee orpingtons so much, Buffs too. And I was interested if by crossing them I could get something like Jubilee but for the base color to be closer to buff. Hope someone can help me and inform me if I should even try it, what are the...

We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old. The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.

Hi Everyone! I'm interested in learning more specifically about the Lemon Cuckoo color pattern/type in chickens. I'd like to compile as many pictures of your Lemon Cuckoo birds as possible, along with their breed, if anyone here is interested in showing off their beautiful birds! I'll update...

Okay, so I'm completely new when it comes to raising chick's. I've done weeks of research etc but some things you just learn by doing. This leads me to ask, my chick's are about 3 days old and I can see their little feathers starting to come in. I noticed that multiple of them were almost I'm...

Hey guys, just playing a bit here I guess 😂 but yeah, got a few three-week old (EDIT-crossbreed) buff orpingtons. One feathered up really quick compared to the other two, and now it has a comb twice the size and much more red/pink than it’s broodmates. I’ve got some (low quality) pics for you to...

My family and I have ordered half a dozen buff orpingtons hoping to raise them for dual purpose. I have done hours of research but can't seem to find an answer to my question regarding feed. We would like our orpingtons to be layers but eventually use them at our dinner table. Are there any...

I bought chocolate Orpington eggs to hatch. 3 of the eggs did hatch and this is what came out. I believe I have 1x chocolate rooster, 1x chocolate hen and 1 splash? Hen seems to light shades of brown. Also they are smaller than I expected them to be (5 months in this photo).
