Hey Plantcithhomestead here is a gal in the ft lauderdale area named Andrea jones that has sq lave dad orps. She is on the chicken swap of Florida fb page

I really want to stick with the Buffs. They look so pretty free ranging on the grass. Silly I know, but they are my lawn jewelry.

Crappity crap I can't but I would love to get my hands on some of Stan's Aussies....

Stephanie,
You can't have some of everything in spite of how your 'chicken math' works out. If you really need a fix, I do have extra Aussies almost to point of lay!!!

( closest thing I could find to an enabler smiley)

What?! She has something with feathers on its neck! Thanks, Stan. Even if she doesn't have them, maybe she has a contact.

They have feathers on their neck, but they cluck with an English accent. ........stan

Hey Plantcity!

Can you tell me a little about chicken showing? What makes a SQ Buff Orpington? I have attached pix of my 3 (they are about 6-7mos old) again, not from show lines, etc... I really don't plan on showing but I am curious how mine stack up to the standard. I know my cockerel doesn't have much of a tail yet and he & one of the pullets have a little darker feathers on their tails....not sure if that is "legal" or not.

I just hatched my Ameraucanas this weekend and one has feathers on her legs! I guess that would make her a cross with something else & ineligible to show, right?

Be honest with your critique...I won't be offended These birds are for eggs & entertainment only.

The roo needs to fill out a bit. As far as the color goes they change a lot when they go through their first year molt. Here is a pic of my head roo. I would show you pics of my hens but a unexpected trait showed up after the pullets were over a year old. They developed white on the ear lobes. A no no. I have since figured out where it came from so I need to replace all my BO hens.

The roo came from a different breeder, thank God.



When I get a pic with my new camera, I'll post it.
