Buff Orpington haters and lovers WAR!!!

[EmmaRainboe]

Bantam cochins will always be picked, despite the colour

Well if I had all the colors to pick from I’d definitely not chose buff lol. But if I had to choose between a buff BC and a BPR, even though barring is my favorite pattern I’d still chose the buff BC.

My cousin has some. And like I said, I dont hate them. They lay plenty of eggs. They are sweet birds. I just don't really like the color buff. Orps are good birds.

Ok. I am just curious, did you vote yes or no?

The combs aren't *supposed* to freeze off. You need to keep your birds warmer in winter

No way am I heating multiple pens for 6 months a year

I have a coop heater plate that you put sideways in the coop for warmth and I live in FL. I use it when its 40°F or colder

Yeah, come talk about frost bite when you live somewhere with -20F days and -30F nights during part of winter.

I am 110% sure any "buff" on here is a orp

But not everywhere it's posted.

‘if a Twinkie was a chicken’!!

No wonder I dislike them.

Also I‘ve never heard of Dong Tao chickens before, so I looked them up and I think I need to bleach my eyes. Why in the world would anyone want one of those nasty mutated cellulitis monstrosities!?

Chicken legs are a delicacy in their origin country. So.... bigger legs, better prices

Also, would you mind listing some of the prettier, better-than-Buff layers? I’m looking into getting some more chickies, and I’m all ears for good breeds!

I absolutely love my bantam Cornish. But they are bantams. But they fit every love of a b.o. other than body fluff (different feathering type).

I am convinced that all buff orp haters are just sad that they will never have a butt as perfectly fluffy as a buff orpington

They actually need a fluffy butt for that to possibly be true.

Both varieties are beautiful!

There is only one real variety out of those two.
One is is beautiful and floofy
And the other is ruined...Yucky

I have so many whites, they are one of my favorite breeds.View attachment 3200664View attachment 3200674View attachment 3200675View attachment 3200676View attachment 3200677View attachment 3200679

I love the last one!

Oooo they have the eggs on there?

No, just birds. Good pet quality birds though.

If I had to choose a solir buff bird to keep it would not be orpingtons. It would be bantam cochins. Or possibly Ameraucanas.

Same. Probably the Ameraucana. They're nice looking usually. I just don't like popular breeds. One reason I'll never have australorps or white leghorns either.

You're welcome! At first I thought it was a little guinea pig before I looked closer LOL.

Ha! She was broody and "adopted" a 3 mouth old silkie pullet. Sadly the pullet passed away

How can I help?!?

No idea just tagged you
