*Buff Orpington Thread!*

Somebody forgot to put in the Buff O description that they are first class treat mooches. Like camels, I think they have a secret 'hump' that they fill up so they can always come back for more. I get mugged when I enter the run with their treat bowl. Hens are flying up and trying to roost on my arm to get first grabs and my Buff O roo is standing with his breast almost against my shin bones looking up and chattering like a magpie telling me to hurry up. They have me well trained. I never go out without some offering in my hand for them.

I agree! And my girls are barely two weeks old!

Love the image of your BO boy chattering like a magpie! The BO's do act like vultures sometimes.

LOL,
Ours follow me around the yard like puppies until I come up with a treat for them.
They certainly have quite the entertainment value!

Is this normal reddening for a 8-9 week old pullet?
