*Buff Orpington Thread!*

[jubilation]

I have some questions about the buff orpingtons. Is it exclusive to the BO's for the personality traits such as friendlieness, docile, sweet, etc. or do the other colors of orpingtons share these traits also? Also, looking for some BO hens that are more standard bred (larger birds). The place I bought my hens last spring were from Cackle Hatchery.

We are pretty much sure that our rooster is dead. Sure do miss his crowing. Still devastated about the incident.

So sorry to hear about your roo. The worst part is not knowing.

Dragonlady, this might be an obvious answer, but are the "hanging" feathers on your roosters toward the rear the "saddle feathers"? I feel like your birds are the first I have seen an obvious difference in the feather patterns (helps with side by side pictures). I am clearly new to chickens and my buffs are not showing any clear signs (only 10 weeks old).
