Here’s my girls, Beatrice, Matilda, Dorothy and Maize. They’re about 19 weeks old. I love seeing their fluffy butts running around our backyard! They’re in the “don’t touch me” teenager stage right now, though they’re becoming more friendly as they get closer to laying.

CreamPuff
CreamPuff is a very heavy, large, BO hen. She's my ugly girl. ❤

Marshmallow (Marshy)
Marshy is the perfect Buff Orpington. She might even be show quality! (Maybe.) She is perfect size, not ugly, and has a wonderful personality. Friendly, docile, calm, etc.

Kiwi (R.I.P)
Kiwi was a wonderful girl! A little small for a Buff Orpington, she had a great personality and was my best egg layer. I'll always miss you Kiwi!

Pictures? Aw, you got to love 'em! ❤ My two Buff Orpington's are the sweetest and the best!

This is the most recent picture of my BO I could find. She is a JERK, and a PIG, and a WORD I CANT SAY, and MEAN, and SMELLY, and RUDE. I love her to bits, though she is not nice to me or the other chickens. She attacked my cockerel for food today, after she had just emptied out the feeder. As I have said before, she is a PIG. A rude, rude, pig.

I have one BO! I had another named Snickers, but she passed away last year. She was my favorite! She would go up the stairs in our house, follow me around, she was a smarty pants! Then one day I found her sick and she died that same day. But! The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord!!

Anyway... back to my LIVING BO!! Her name is Beth Harrington. What a tank of a bird. You should see her run! Haha!

I'll post some pictures!!

And my super sweet friend, Snickers.

Here's a little lucky story:

I bought 6 straight run chicks from my local TSC. All six turned out to be pullets!

I have four we named them, Sophia, Dorthy, Blanch and Rose. After the Golden Girls

My Buffo is broody! Has anyone seen a chicken with a slightly small head, pale and undersized comb and wattles? She’s a little odd and I’m hoping it won’t interfere with raising some chicks.

I had a buff go broody today too! I pulled her out of the nest and she just sat on the ground like an angry basketball.
