*Buff Orpington Thread!*

Somehow silly Edward lost a point this winter and the last one is looking so-so. His ladies still find him to be a hunk though!

He is positively gorgeous!! I'm totally jealous.

I love the Buff Orpington breed as a hobby flock choice to raise them as egg layers because they won't peck at you when you try to get the eggs from under them in the nesting boxes.

My buff orps peck the most when I try to steel the eggs lol...

My Buff Orpingtons don't peck at me at all when I get eggs, compared to my Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds

I've never had an orp peck at me or be aggressive... I would cull any, that's not my idea of an orp.

 

[hennible]

Well I'm not culling 7 orps just because they don't like me sticking my hand under them to collect eggs. Other than that their gentle and sweet, especially the rooster.

I wouldn't cull them either. Sometimes mine give a swift peck if they're feeling extra broody, but other than that I have zero issues. I think it's just an instinct thing like any mother protecting her young/potential young.
