Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[MGG]

He is huge, just under 12 lbs and 24" tall. He is a sweetheart to people but absolutely cannot tolerate other roosters. View attachment 2590272 The girls love him, but he is a bit of a chauvinist.

He's beautiful!!! Wow, he is a big boy. What color was the Ameraucana that he was crossed with?
Haha! He's so pretty.

Is there an Ameraucana lover thread?
I would love to skim thru it and see pics of floofs.

Bbs orp x bbs ameraucana (not mine, I bought eggs from someone local who had bought a mixed flock from a breeder.)
He was hatched by my langshan broody 3 yrs ago. They still love each other and I've hatched several of their chicks but they are always cockrels. Can't keep them even though they are super friendly because they always fight with dad.
Here are pics of them. I'd have loved to keep these two. They would walk a quarter of a mile around the pond with me every day. Lol. I gave them away. They are as heavy as Doris (my rooster) but taller.

but with dogs it's more horrifying

fr

atleast you dont get this with hatchery chickens

Also breeding has alot to do with personality too, behavior issues. Atleast a hatchery chicken cant kill you like a unstable byb or puppy mill dog could

Idk. This is pretty horrifying. You’ll never guess what breed it’s supposed to be.

Hmmm... My buff orps go broody a lot and they are from Hoovers Hatchery.

Mine too. Both have gone broody. ( My 1st one from Ideal never did though.) They are pretty fluffy too, although one is a little light in color.
@EmmaRainboe this is Beazley, she is Tilly's mom. She has hatched several chicks.
