Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[The Happster]

You like to argue a lot, don't you?
I see you on all the major threads putting angry emojis and arguing with people
( Just pointing it out lol )

It's one of the reasons we love her.
But please don't talk to her about ferrets.

But please don't talk to her about ferrets.

STOP TALKING ABOUT FERRETS. I'm breaking up with you.

 

[HappyDuckie]

Ok.
*Rolls up sleeves*

That's not a good idea, when you are blocking your face he'll slice your arms

 

[HappyDuckie]

I wasn't answering a question, or replying. More like making a statement. I got to go walk my dogs, see y'all later!

I'm pretty sure you did ask a question, isn't that what a question mark is for?

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

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

If you are a buff Orp 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 Orps 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.

If you love buff Orps this is not the thread for you and go show your love for those vomit Orps in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/calling-all-buff-orpington-lovers.1408941/page-26


Now don’t be fooled. I don’t hate all Orpingtons. Just buff Orps and hatchery Orps. Buff Hatchery Orps being the worst of both worlds. I would die for a English lavender cuckoo Orp, or and English Blue Laced, Or really any English Orp 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 Orps “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 : View attachment 2577065
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. 
   

Just got to mention that besides the fact that you don't like the buff color, all these complaints are about people (and how they talk about buff orpingtons), and the hatcheries. Not the chicken breed itself.

If you understood sarcasm then you would get the question mark. Here, I will change it just for you.

You sure like to argue a lot don't you.
I see you on all the major threads putting angry emojis and arguing with people.
( Just pointing it out. )

There we go.
Maybe a period will help clear up my statement.

and the hatcheries. Not the chicken breed itself.

I hate hatchery Orpingtons. Which are like it’s own breed. They are mainly What this thread is about. They are like these:

and these.

But no, I don’t hate true Orpingtons like these:


(ignore the fact that it’s cuckoo)

and these.

The only complaint I have with English buff Orpingtons is the fact that they are buff, no I don’t have a problem with the breed itself.

Definitely, an interesting reason to like a person, but I guess it is entertaining IMO.
I will refrain from ferret talk, although mongoose conversations do happen often with me
