orpington

Hi All! I was going to keep these beautiful pure bred boys, but now things have changed and I have to part ways with them. I have three blue laced red Wyandottes (black, blue, and splash) and one jubilee orpington. I have multiple pics of the black because he is so flippin' handsome. They would...

Hello Friends! Soon I will need to re-home some beautiful and sweet buff orpington cockerels that I purchased as part of a straight run set of chicks. They are still young, but I wanted to put the message out there with time. We are located in Miami, FL, please let me know if you are interested...

Hello interwebs - long time reader, first time poster here... Let me get to the point (with some light rambling upfront): Husband was awesome this spring (March 2020) and surprised me with a fancy chic tractor to help me find some focus after our beloved cat passed away (@19!) We got four babies...

Hi I'm new to BYC and needed help identifying 2 of my chickens. The backstory is I ordered hatching eggs from my pet chicken and they gave me a sheet with codes so I can tell what chicks might hatch from the eggs I bought. I bought a random mix and 4 chicks hatched. I'm positive I have 2 cochins...

Hello to all! I am here to learn all I can about my new flock. I have 14 Orpingtons, two of which are roosters. I have 3 color variations- Isabel, Chocolate, and Lavender Cuckoo. Within the varing colors, I have noticed a distinct personality difference. Anyone else notice this? The Isabels are...

It's been a while since I've been on this site so I hope this is the right place to ask. Recently I just learned that a member of our flock, our sassy buff orpington hen, just passed away unexpectedly. When told this, I remembered another buff orpington hen we owned years ago that suffered the...

Hello, I ordered some lavender orpington chicks and som isabel orpington hatching eggs, but now it came to my mind, is there a difference between these two? coulg i breed them with one another? Im new to the chicken world.

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...

Greetings friends! My flock is just at 10 weeks old and I'm having trouble determining roo or hen? Would super appreciate some help 🙂

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...

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...

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...

I have purchased 4 chicks the end of April and surprisingly I received 5.and I was under the impression they were all hens but now I am beginning to see bumps on the legs of one of them. I am sure the spurs are going to be coming in. None of the others have this.The other chicks I have are 2...

Hi everyone! I’m thinking she’s a he, but the comb is still pretty yellow. What do y’all think?

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...

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???

Just look at him aaaaaa

Hello! After many years of going onto this site to troubleshoot and learn, I decided to join the community! I’m a chicken and guinea owner from New York and we’ve owned chickens on and off in the past years. However, this year our flock is bigger than ever and I’m very excited to watch them grow...
