Buff Orpington haters and lovers WAR!!!

[Pampered chicken girl]

Alright. So I just don’t get why people hate buff orpingtons so much. A lot of the reasoning I’ve heard has a lot to do with what propel call them or what people say. I’m just pointing out that the chickens can’t make the humans say things, and the chickens can’t help how they look. I’ve also heard that buff orpingtons are skinny. Idk about anyone else’s but I have some dang FLUFFY buff orpingtons. Just look at my hen Gnocchi.

She's adorable!!!!

Buff orpingtons can't choose how they look but I can choose what birds I like, and I dislike buff orpingtons.

I agree, great point. But I’d also just like to say my Gnocci is a mega floof magoof

I totally agree that some buff orpingtons are pretty skinny, I don’t exactly love that about them, and there’s one hen of mine whom I don’t like too much, she’s kinda mean and she’s just skinny and her feathers are pale. I do agree, some are for sure like that…. BUT will you agree with me that sone are a bit floofier that others? Like Gnocci? In the picture with the two chickens Gnocci is on the left. She could be chunkier I agree. But she’s much better than some I’ve seen.
