Buff Orpington Rant thread!

[ShrekDawg]

Idk probably not to standard. But he is perfect. Maximum floof. If only he were a different color.

Currently at the top of my want list is black and white silkies, and a buff laced bearded polish from My Pet Chicken.

Goodness, I have so many at the top of mine! I think the current peak of I-desperately-want-these-but-have-run-out-of-room-or-can't-find-someone-who-even-sells-them is Blue Silver Duckwing OEGBs, silkied Ameraucanas (in any variety, honestly, though black or BBS would be my preference), Woolly Svart Hona, and Birchen / Blue Silver Modern Game bantams. Why do coops have to cost actual money?

If everything that I wanted was available, I'd be dying because I don't have enough coop space

As you can see, this is a fact. Sorry you can't find certain breeds where you live, though.

I found this old thread, it’s old, but an interesting read nonetheless.

Emily feels slightly offended after reading this thread. (Of course, she believes herself to be highly superior to hatchery Buff Orpingtons, even though she is one lol)

To be honest (shhh, make sure Emily doesn’t hear this) I am not a fan of hatchery quality Buff Orpingtons. I sometime want to own a good, butt fluff Orpington, but alas, I do not own a fluffy one. I really wish hatchery buff Orpingtons were fluffy.

(Why oh why are they not fluffy???)

Because hatcheries care about production and money not preserving the breed.

That’s true.

It makes me so sad. I wish everyone knew to care about quality.
