I am new to chickens. Got a first batch of buff orpingtons and barred rock; 8weeks old now. Then I needed more to replace some barred rocks that passed so I went with some Easter eggers because they were a little older at tractor supply and I wanted to bypass the tiny stage. My EEs are not as friendly, almost wild still. And I got paranoid that they’d mostly be male (as well as most my orpingtons) so I got seven more and all they had in stock was barred rock, new shipment. So far I love my orpingtons. I really wish I had more. They learned to trust me better than the rest, they also learned to drink from a bottle better than my new batch of barred rocks. All my little barred rocks are a week old or so but they’re so scared still. I hope that changes! I’m about to ask my friends if they have any young orpingtons they want to trade. I love mine so much! ...and now I need a bigger chicken coop.
