Calling All Buff Orpington Lovers!

[Stefrrr]

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.

That is the perfect description!

@EmmaRainboe why don't you like Buff Orpingtons? Just wondering. I love all chickens big, small, fluffy, bald.

There are many reasons. Though I’m afraid I’ll get torn apart in a Buff Orpington lover thread.

In reality, I too, love all chickens. Buff Orps are just at the very bottom of the tower IMO. I wouldn’t get rid of them if I happened to own them. But I would never choose them out or try to own them.

Only BO lovers allowed but I understand you. There are some breeds I wouldn't enjoy owning......

Brand new to having my own flock (grew up ALWAYS having various poultry, in various stages of life). So far 5 buff orpingtons, 2 Wyandotte (silver-laced) and one olive egger. 4 weeks old today. So far the buffs are the best at foraging, scratching and pecking right along. The olive egger just looks confused .
I am also waiting for a acquaintance to hatch out his lavender orpingtons, and I plan on getting 4 of them.
I had a list of requirements for my chickens and so far the orpingtons are meeting them.

I had a buff Orpington named April. She followed me everywhere! I loved her so much. When a dog got into the coop she was killed. We have a much better coop now.

Yeah I cant believe I never saw this! I only get the haters thread on my home page. My Buff Orpington just hatched her first clutch of eggs yesterday!! She hatched 9 out of 11! and those two were infertile. NO QUITTERS!!
