Interesting! I’ve read a lot on BYC about how heavy and clumsy orps are, and don’t like flying or getting up high... so I thought they may need a lower jungle gym... but maybe not? Would be good to hear about different people’s experiences. I don’t want to spend time building something they won’t use... Thanks for the input!
Beach ball Now I want to see it! Do you have a picture?One is a huge, beach ball of a chicken
I love that video! My pet chicken used to do that when I was a kid. I miss him. I'm so looking forward to having chickens again!This is how climby my baby Orps are. These guys are from my crele project.
Our two Buff Orpingtons must be from weird eggs after reading what has been posted previously here, both (cockerel and hen) insist on being carried to bed, they refuse to go in their coop unless picked up and carried there and the hen is the only chicken we have who demands to lay in our spare coop, she patrols outside the shut gate shouting at the top of her voice until we open the gate and coop door, she then sprints in to the coop, lays and when ready stands at the gate and shouts to be released. The gate is about five foot high and she makes no attempt to go over it. If we go out she seems to delay laying and waits till we return then runs to meet us so we can let her in to lay, what is wrong with the other two coops I have no idea! But these two definitely keep their feet on the ground unless being carried. Maybe we are just too soft with them.........
