Yeah his tail cracks me up LOL! Reminds me of when you curl ribbon with scissors

Perfect description.

I am a newbie to backyard chickens but we started this year with a mix of baby chicks. Our Buff Orpingtons( Fleur and Daisy) quickly became our favorites! These girls are so sweet and friendly...I can't wait to watch them grow

Awwww.....such cuties! Great pics

When my Buffs were just Ragamuffins, this is one of my fondest days with my little flock. They all found a nice cool spot under the shade of our cottonwood tree....



...and they took a nap together.

Silly Birds.

Sooo...sweet!

Hello All. Just decided to drop in and say I have 7 Buff Orpingtons. Some of them are the sweetest birds ever and will peck my leg till I hold them, others are the most skittish birds I have. None have ever been very good egg layers, but Orpingtons are pretty popular around here so I might begin breeding them sometime!

Post some images of your birds. We'd love to see them.

My little cockerel just turned 6 months 2 days ago! Sorry for him not being so well fed I separated him & his sisters from the rest because they pick on them and don't let them eat

He's handsome!
He will fill out nicely I'm sure, now that he has a safe place to eat.

Wow, wait? Is this really a 24 week old BO rooster? I thought that by that age you would really see a bright red comb, waddles, sickle feathers, etc, etc. I am no expert, by all means but how do you know it's a cockerel?

His brother is MUCH more noticeable that he's a roo(began stepping) he's also attempted to step on the pullets, his tail is lower, his comb is redder than the pullets
