buff orps

[thechickgal]

Hi, I just got 4 buff or hens today. They were given to me and I was told they were 2 Years old. They are beautiful hens. But one is very small compared to the others. Does this mean she is at the bottom of the pecking order?

Not necessarily,Just observe them the higher will be in control of the food dish

OK I will watch them next time I feed them.

Or maybe one is a mix of some sort?
Can you post pics of them all together?

Very pretty girls! I had 2 BOs that I acquired together as chicks. One was bigger than the other...Buffy (the larger hen) was taken by a fox, but little Barbie is still part of the flock. She eats just fine but is a small hen.

I don't see where one is significantly smaller than the others.
Does her body feel smaller.....or is she just less fluffy(she may have stared to molt)?
