Wow they are so cute! I love the names you gave them

Hello Everyone!!! How are your beautiful Buff Orpingtons? Mine are doing well! Our tag is
#bufforplovers . I hope y'alls are doing wonderful!!!

Everyone is doing really well, first winter with first chickens.
I have three buffs, they are very sweet and quiet. Because they're blonde I gave them German names lol! Helga, Heidi and Brunhilde. They are about 8 months old, starting to produce eggs. Helga has always been kind of a lean chicken, Heidi a very chunky chicken. Brunhilde was always the biggest of the three, and I expected her to overtake my barred rock for Alpha of the flock, but she hasn't. Brunhilde has grown a floppy comb in the last few weeks, she's a hipster artist!

I do! Grew up with a flock of them. My favorite pet was a Buff Orpington rooster named Big Jake (all of our roosters had John Wayne names haha):

(Excuse the terrible resolution as this is a digital photo of a traditional photo )

As of now I have 9 buff girls: Birb, Hei Hei (I know, most common name but it's so good XD), Brumbo, Daisy, Chichin, Martini, Tendi, Artsie, and Strawberry Shortcake. No "oops" roosters from the hatchery, so we've adopted a Lemon Cuckoo Niederrheiner to possibly provide a second generation of hens. They won't be purebreds but I'm excited to see how the barred genes mix with my golden girls!

Hello Y'all!!! How are you and your Buff Orpingtons? I was trying to have my Buff Orp, Waffles, hatch her first egg but, Perpetua, my sister's Brahma hen, kicked her off the nest and ate the egg when I wasn't there! So I'm going to try and start again tomorrow maybe with a larger batch of eggs!

I lost one of 9 to sudden unexplained death in the coop. Reckon she must have scavenged poison or some such. Chicken math was always going to strike but I now have 8 eggs with the neighbor farmer for machine incubation and Daisy is in the process of going broody! I fully intend to let her sit on another 8 or so but if everything hatches I may be very busy for a while... They'll all be mixed Buff Orps, either Buff x Leghorn or Niederrheiner x Buff.
