I read post one, I wasn't here to fight. I just wanted to know why yall don't like Buff Orpingtons.

Well he doesn't hate them. Plus clearly lots of lovers on here to

Neither assumptions are correct. I am mainly standing back with a amused expression on my face, watching you lot fight.

What breed was the buff bird you met?

Quite honestly, I thought buff orp, but I don't know.

 

[Cold-Blood]

It’s more about the color than the individual birds too. Do you like the color and body shape of American orps?

As I have said before, I have not had or for sure met any, in real life. Therefore my opinion is pending.

I had no idea a chicken breed could cause such controversy! The only bad thing I can say about buff Orps is that they are ubiquitous and it would be nice to see more variety of breeds kept in this country.

The SOP Orpingtons look like Hottentot chickens.

I don't think it's even really that controversial, just some people get up in arms every now and then because they don't like that people don't like their favorite breed or whatever, while at the same time they turn around and say similar things about the breeds they don't like without seeing the irony in that.

Their commonness is one reason why I don't like them much, either. But primarily, I don't find the color appealing and have had just as nicely tempered birds without having to add birds of an unappealing variety to my flock.
