Gosh....
Ameraucanas, Legbars, Sussex, Dominiques, Bantam Cochins, Brahmas, English Orps, cochins, Houdans, Sultans, d'Uccles, dutch bantams, American Games, Araucanas, Marans, Faverolles, d'Uccles, also many more but if I kept going we'd be here all year.
Oh yes. I loveeeee fluffies. They're the best. And how do you like EEs but not Ameraucanas!
No I lerve beach balls. But I do like some skinnys, like legbars. They're nice and skinny but with an adorable little crest.
You have too much hate in your heart. Eat a Snickers and calm down.DISCLAIMER: This is a thread for you to put everything you hate about buff Orpingtons. Please keep all BO hate in this thread and do not carry it elsewhere.
This is for anyone who hates buff Orpingtons to rant about them. This is strictly BUFF Orps. Not Orpingtonss in general. Though I don’t mind if you rant about all orpingtons.
But if you like most Orps, just not buff, you are welcome here too.
If you are a buff Orpington 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 Orpingtons 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 Orpingtons in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/calling-all-buff-orpington-lovers.1408941/
Now don’t be fooled. I don’t hate all Orpingtons. Just buff Orps and hatchery Orpingtonss. Buff Hatchery Orpingtons being the worst of both worlds. I would die for a English lavender cuckoo Orp, or and English Blue Laced, Or really any English Orpington that isn’t buff. Especially if they are @ColtHandorf ‘s English Orps.
***Adding Buff Orpington Rant to Beginning Post***
My complaints about Buff Orpingtons:
- Solid Buff is UGLY. Not just on Orps. But on all breeds in general.
- I HATE when people call their Buff Orpingtons “buffs“ “buffies” “buff” “Buffy” etc... Orpingtons aren’t the only breeds that come in buff you know.
- 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.
- 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

- 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.
Fun fact, silkies are actually the only breed I can stand to be solid buff. They look like caramel. Not like vomit like every other solid buff bird.Sorry you lost them.
I would die for some silkies.
EXACTLYI JUST JOINED AND THIS WAS ON MY FRONT PAGE
buff orpingtons are gross. I don't even like the English ones. They are too fat. I like small skinny birds that actually have pretty markings
I know from experience that that's devastating to go through, especially as the one who forgot to close the coop in my case. 
Then my next two favorites are the opposite ends of the spectrum, Cochins and OEGBs.
