I've got three 8 1/2 week Buff Orps. Mine are so quiet but from what I read on here that will change. They are just a joy to watch outside in the pen. It's like their shape is always perfect. My SLWs really had a pitiful Starling stage for a few weeks but not these beauties. I keep thinking that I can't wait to see them grown but I love watching them as babies now.
