Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[Painted Calls]

Genuine question, where do you find English or Australian orps

I would assume you find Australian Orps in Australia.

Here in the US, we have both American and English. You would have to go through private breeders like @ColtHandorf. There are a few other breeders here that have magnificent birds. I won't tag them to this thread though.

hmmmm, so people in America cant have Australian orps

I won't tag them to this thread though.

That a good idea

There’s just so many prettier birds out there…

Exactly. Gamefowl are so much better.

The last one is the prettiest

Not unless they import them, no. I would assume there's not a whole lot of difference other than their SOP.

Phew, this place got busy overnight! Get ready for another influx of Buff Orpington love threads again. I promise, Buff Orpingtons aren't going to go extinct because a hand full of people dislike them! If that was all it took, then naked necks like this little darling would be a thing of the past.

I have to agree, here... That color's more like cecal poop than like vomit.




(Psst, I'm pretty sure he's crouched / leaning forward and that's why it looks like his tail is so high )




Honestly, pictures don't do them justice, either. Seeing these giant birds in person is an entire experience of its own. They are MASSIVE with so much floof that they need two cages in show instead of just one. Even the American Orpingtons are awe-inspiringly BIG and fluffy in show.




Because they're an unpleasant color that I don't like, and I have plenty of much fluffier butts of my own without having to see a color I find unappealing every day.

Like my Cochins

I’m glad his tail isn’t as high as I thought but still. And I love Cochins!

OK, I like the Partridge English Orpington and the English Jubilee Orpington. Wonder if OP would consider them okay? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha to the millionth power.

That partridge is gorgeous

Yet y'all get worked up if someone so much as hints that they don't like a Buff Orpington. Weird how that works, isn't it?

Yes it very much so is! Lol!

I mean, Australian Orpingtons are really just AustralORPS.
