I have a Buff I like her color as it adds variety to the flock but man is she mean she’s the only one that pecks at me when I check under her for eggs and she’s really skittish I don’t think I would ever get another one

so is there a english variety orpington and a hatchery variety orpington? i didn’t know there was a difference. wish i knew before i got two buff orps from TSC lol

There’s many varieties. There’s English, Australian, American, etc… then Hatchery which just totally blows them all up, lol.

Normqlly when I do these posts I try to keep them all one color to prevent color biases, but I couldn’t find them all uniform so just try and focus on body shape.
