How do they poo through all that fluff without creating stalactites off their butt? Impressive!

@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!

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. 
   

Nothing wrong with the color Buff.
