I'm a bit dorky myself but I think 4&1/2 hour trip for some buffs is way worth it can't wait to see pics

The weather didn't allow for the trip! I'll have to wait until next weekend cause he is only available on the weekends.

So, I'm switching my flock to all BOs, & have found a lady who has 6 hens about 1 1/2 yrs old. Any opinions if this would make a good starter flock? I already have a rooster. Idk how long they lay well, or go broody. I'm totally ok with using older ones, who can raise their own babies! I do not care much for brooding. Lol

production can last anywhere from 2-8 years (though it does drop quickly after two years of age), but if you're planning to use them primarily as breeding stock, they should make great mamas. Age=wisdom in many cases.

I'm plan on ordering Buff Orpingtons soon from McMurry . I'm not picky about quality they're just for hobby and eggs. But is there a better place to get them without costing an arm and leg?

Bella's mother and Daisy were that age when I got them. I think they were great.
