*Buff Orpington Thread!*

[Wyorp Rock]

Five out of 12 Buff Orpington chicks hatched with 1 more pipped and waiting for the others!

I got up to check on them last night and ended up with one nestled in my neck fast asleep. I think she thinks I am mama.

Just adorable!!

how long on average can you expect a Buff to lay eggs?

Mine lay for about 4-6 years at a decreased rate.

Just adorable!!

Thank you.

Well, out of 12 eggs, 11 hatched, and I'm pretty happy considering it is my first hatch ever!

I will do an eggtopsy in the morning to get an idea what went wrong. They were all fertile when I candled on day 7....

My BO has gone broody. Here she's just puffing up into Turkey Mom. She's so funny.
