Looking for 7 mo buff orpington or similar hen

Well, everybody, much ado about nothing on my part. He was a Buff orpington of some fancy coloration. But the ad is down, so someone must have taken them.

Mroo, yes, I do have the run set up to protect chicks and then introduce them, and the coop I just saw how I could do it. For sleeping purposes. Not for going in and out on their own.

@Birdielee We're getting some smoke from a wildfire in NJ ... are you okay?

 

[Birdielee]

Oh, yeah! I dont know anything about it! Maybe it's south in the pine barrens. I'll look it up! Thanks for telling me and for asking

Sooo! I got 2 hens and a rooster this evening! They're sleeping in a cage in the shed for now. And I'll fence off some garden for them tomorrow. I'll post pics tomorrow but the roo looks awful!!
The lady i got them from says he's molting. He's definitely SOMEthing. Looking for opinions and advice on what to watch for during quarantine.

 

[Birdielee]

I'm going to post this request somewhere, but I'd like a description, or to see a video of HOW to "check her vent". I tried to see how that could be done... and I'm not sure. It didn't work. But i do understand I'm supposed to look over all my chickens pretty regularly...

Ok, so here are photos of my 2 new. Quarantined (as if i needed more quarantine in my life) hens and my one hot mess rooster. Man, he looks awful.

 

[Birdielee]

the rooster has his wings clipped, and i don't know what else is going on there. Mange? No clue. I dont see pin feathers.
Glad he's quarantined. Help me out here.

Of the girls, one seems fine so far and the other has a small patch of whatever the rooster has on the back of her head. Be it in sickness or in molting.

One hen has small ear tufts.
They both have an extra toe, and the rooster has small spurs. And red on his feet.. like as if he stepped in some paint 4 or 5 days ago and it didnt all wash off.

So the hens are Easter eggers, i suppose?
