I just wanted to report that my wonderful Buff Orpington, Speedy, who was always racing to be the first to my lap and shoulder and loved to be cuddled, is a roo. :( I re-homed him with the breeder in Hudson, who sold him to the place where I bought him. He was a "guaranteed pullet" but no one seems willing to back up the guarantee. Since I live in Denver and can't have roos anyway, should I just treat this as if it were a straight run, and call it unfortunate?

How old was the Orpington when you bought him, and did the bird come from a hatchery or was it hatched by a local breeder?
 
I have three broodies right now. My silkie, the speckled sussex and my buff orpington. They are sitting on a total of 13 eggs. A bakers dozen. The statted last Saturday. I will candle the eggs this Sunday and see whats viable. I also have 28 more in the incubator. They are due next Saturday. All that hatch are going to a friend down the road. She has about 200 right now and wants 500. Now thats a lot of chickens.

I have a broody now, my first. I didn't know I was meant to candle broody eggs. When do you do that? Mine is on day 13 now, I guess they will hatch next Friday. Do I still need to candle now?
