Duck Breed Focus - Buff Orpington

[Amiga]

My Buff Orpingtons go from buff right after a molt, to nearly platinum as their feathers bleach out.

Okay. She does that too somewhat, but she just molted a few weeks ago and they seem lighter than last year. Either way is beautiful though!

Can someone let me know how Buff hens are in the noisy department?

Well most of the time I don't hear them unless they lose their flock mates then they can make a racket till they are reunited but it's not constant.

This is my 5 month old boy Stevie, having a snooze on my lap I have 19 Buff Orpingtons, just starting a breeding program. Hope to also show them. They are great ducks, fun personalities and very pretty. A little different to other ducks, I like the males brown heads and lack of white neck ring.

Yes you are correct, his eye is crusty because he is blind I'm not sure what the fluid is but he's been that way since he hatched. It doesn't seem to bother him, he appears to be happy and has access to bathing water 24/7. My hubby says I fuss on him too much
