Are these really buff orpingtons?

[TinaK]

I knew a guy like that once...

He started off with one dog... it was all ok then....
then he got another dog..... and they multiplied. Now they all just inbreed like hell... IN HIS BEDROOM... who knows how many litters of puppies he raised before he eventually tore the carpet up

He has about 7 fully grown RELATED dogs

he also has fish, chickens, cats... IN A SUBURBAN YARD.. Well more so in his house..... which stinks and is a serious health hazard

some people are sadly not raised well enough to be able to draw a line between what is right and what is wrong.....
(either that or they are just seriously GROTTY freaks!!!)

I just bought some Buffs this is what my BO's look like

so if any of yours look like this then you will have BO's


So good luck to you I hope it works out for you

The ones with the darker plumage and darker barring on the wing feathers look like Gold Sex Links to me. I have many, many GSL chicks and that's what they look like. I have many BO's, too. They do not have the dark on them. As a matter of fact, my BO chicks wing feathers look much lighter than that. The only dark on my BO chicks at all may be a small amount on their head or "forehead". But none on their body or wings. My Gold Sex Links all have the darkness on shoulders, backs, and wings.

I ordered 11 BO from Ideal, and a couple of them had a few darker spots on their wing feathers like yours do in the pic, I know mine are "hatchery quality"

but they are now almost 3 months old and seem to be\\e the pretty buff color I'd expect!

Let us know how yours turn out!!

Maybe some more pictures of those cute fluffy butts would help.

It wasn't so much the chicken in the bedroom as it was the 75+ animals in his living room and the deplorable situations they were all in that made me wonder what the upstairs contained.

I would report him to animal control or something. Animal hoarding can be a mental illness and it may only get worse. If the animals weren't being cared for properly then they need help.

Thanks so much for the pics. Yes, I do think some of them look like yours. Fingers crossed!

Since you twisted my arm...

I think this little guy is probably a rooster since he's so inquisitive.

These look similar but are some of the ones that look more like BOs to me.

And a close up wing shot of one of the ones probably not a BO. Do you all agree that it looks like a RSL? Someone earlier had suggested a barred rock. That would be nice too, either way.

Happy Easter! He is risen!
