Buff Orpington haters and lovers WAR!!!

[Sc_chickengirl]

Hello everyone! It appears I got to the party a little late!

Mmm they are gorgeous and I love those turkeys even more

I mean, buff American Orps have reached the highest level of perfection after being bred for over 150 years and for being the most popular. Buff Orpingtons are also the breed where the buff coloring was the most perfected. Buff Cochins were first but never received the same attention.

(Yes, that is a blue there)
But I’ll agree the other colors are nice. I will always like the buffs best because it’s a classic and the most perfect, but I must say a blue, a black, a white, a jubilee or a laced one are all fantastic… or a partridge, or a mottled, or a crele.
The American and British Standards both produce beautiful results, but I think the American reflects the utility qualities that Cook originally bred it for, while British breeders bred towards the extreme of fluffiness.

I like this post. A lot.

Please don't make me drive....

Do you think they'd be okay on a plane?

People fly chickens all the time. I'm sure there's a BYC party plane that could get them from point A to point B.

Can I call you Baguette? It's better than T Banks right?

We should vote! Because I can assure you lemon would get more!

Are you sure?
I think you should poll the group just to be certain.

Need I remind you of the last thread that had a poll feature with this crowd? Even though the vote was clearly not in favor of the individual's wishes, they continued to say...

I didn’t even know there was another kind besides bread

This surprises no one. You clearly never watched Animal Planet in the late 90s when it would switch over to Shop NBC or whatever.

oh, I didn't know they were dual purpose! but what I meant when I said that orpingtons are egg birds was that they aren't like broiler chickens.

Well, broilers are pretty much the only thing in the broiler category. lol So you like all chickens then.

I vote yes for chook to be the queen!

Long Live the Queen.

Buff is still kind of an icky color in birds that are not SQ. But those are handsome.

It switched over about 1-1:30 and stayed there until 4:30 or 5.

Maybe I'll come visit family then and get a pitstip near you. I'd rather pay for flying birds than drive them across the country

Hey can we have another story when you have time @Fwoof

When I feel like it.

No problem just take your time no rush. You don't even have to if you don't really want to
