*Buff Orpington Thread!*

Cutest thing I've seen when it comes to chickens.

The American Poultry Assoc. on my computer does not have a publications listing. Visited several APA sites but no listings under publications. Can't get there from here. Getting frustrating. Feel really stupid.

This is a photo of my Buff's Black head I hope you can see it. I think her back is beginning to heal but not sure. It has been 3 weeks since I have isolated her from the Roosters.

Hi. Does anybody have some buff orpington chicks that they are going to be selling in the spring? I'm not looking for show quality just don't want hatchery. Thanks!

Hi everyone. We are in search for a good breeder of show quality Orpingtons. We are looking for chicks for & my sons 4H project 2014. It is his first year showing, so our families "pet" chickens won't due! If any one knows of good responsible breeders that will ship chicks to the Midwest (Iowa) please let me know. Thanks!

Why are my girls not laying yet? We do not have everyone else's winters. I live in the desert and we have 65-70 degree weather right now. It should be great laying weather? I want my eggs!!! They are about 20 weeks old at this point-not sure exact age, I lost track. They were born in late July I think.


Ok I checked and they are 22 weeks old.

Because the temp has less to do with it than day length. Chickens need a certain number of daylight hours for laying. As the days start to get longer they will start laying.
