Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[EmmaRainboe]

This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons.

But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too.

If you are a buff Orpington LOVER do NOT come here and get angry or call us stupid for hating buff Orps. I’m all for bickering. But if you wish to argue about why buff Orpingtons are great please make your own thread and tag me in it. I will even link it in this post for others who want to bicker.

Bickering thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/buff-orpington-haters-and-lovers-war.1540313/

If you love buff Orps this is not the thread for you and go show your love for those vomit Orpingtons in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/calling-all-buff-orpington-lovers.1408941/


Now don’t be fooled. I don’t hate all Orpingtons. Just buff Orps and hatchery Orpingtonss. Buff Hatchery Orpingtons being the worst of both worlds. I would die for a English lavender cuckoo Orp, or and English Blue Laced, Or really any English Orpington that isn’t buff. Especially if they are @ColtHandorf ‘s English Orps.


***Adding Buff Orpington Rant to Beginning Post***


My complaints about Buff Orpingtons:

1. Solid Buff is UGLY. Not just on Orps. But on all breeds in general.
2. I HATE when people call their Buff Orpingtons “buffs“ “buffies” “buff” “Buffy” etc... Orpingtons aren’t the only breeds that come in buff you know.
3. I HATE HATE HATE. When people are looking for breed recommendation and people say “Buff Orpingtons” why not just say “Orpington?” The color doesn’t change the breed you know.
4. The common hatchery Orps have ZERO fluff. Orpingtons are suppose to be a fluffy breed but instead you get skinny non fluffy things that look like this :
   
5. They are way overrated. Too much hype for what most people call “Buff Orps“ are really just hatchery production birds far from what an actual Orpington should be.
6. People keep spamming photos of their BOs trying to convince me to like them which makes me despise them more.
7. When people call them a “breed.” “Buff orpingtons are my favorite breed!” No, orpingtons are your favorite breed, buff is your favorite variety. You won’t hear me saying “Crele Bantam cochins are my favorite breed!”
8. Their primary #1 fans are young children who get offended when people do not like the look of their favorite bird.

Genuinely just curious as to why you dislike buffs?

This is my Buff Orpington, and yeah, her name is BUFFY!
She is MOONING you!!!

IMO, Orps should be THICC with booty fluff. None of your skinny Orps here, please. That's like low-fat butter.

Can I just say, why does every Buff orp ever need to be named Buffy?

Why can't it ever be anything creative like Daffodil, or Vomitica, even Buttercup... why Buffy

@EmmaRainboe you have made Tilly very sad. (This is her sad/angry face)
Yes, she is an easter egger but she identifies as an orpington.
Her mom (& bestie) is a hatchery buff orpington & her papa is a blue orpington & ameraucana mix. So, you can understand why she identifies as such.
But thank you for pointing us to the orpington lovers thread!

Arguing about religion is one of the most childish things ever. Everyone has their own ideas about which religion is the right one to follow. I have mine, you have yours.

This thread will get locked

Since we are just about the only ones here old enough for adult beverages... Wanna go sit in the corner with me and have a drink while we watch the daycare burn to the ground?
