*Buff Orpington Thread!*

[jubilation]

I'm on the Arizona thread and someone is complaining that one of their hens is showing aggressive behavior by pecking. Any advice on how to stop this. I think she is trying to establish herself as head honcho and is taking it too far. Probably needs to be quarantined and let the pecking order change in the rest of the flock. Don't think there are any roos. Don't know what the breed is. Anyway, any suggestions, etc.

Nice Buff Roo's...Are these English?

Thank You. They are not English. At least not in any known breeding history. We are getting ready to pic our best and start incubating. Looking foreward to the next hatch and hoping for steady improvement.

I think you've got the right idea. Take her out for 3 days to a week and she'll be knocked down a few pegs. Always works for me.

There is an auction up on eBay for 6 Buff Orp eggs;. The seller is using a photo of my cock bird, Monty, to sell these eggs. He claims that his stock came from Hawthorn Hill farm also.The seller's user name is : FREESILVER4U. If anyone here has bid on these eggs, please retract your bid. These are probably hatchery eggs.This seller has a history of pirating others' photos to sell junk.

Here is the photo of Monty he has used:





BUYER BEWARE !!!

can you report it? Not sure if eBay frowns on things like that. I'd message him and chew him out.

I have contacted Ebay and Paypal. So far they have done nothing, even though he is violating Ebay's rules, and committing fraud.Kathy Stevenson, who owns Hawthorn Hill Orp's has contacted them also.I have also chewed the seller out, don't worry. If you know who has bid on these eggs, please warn them.
