Back from my trip to Georgia and just loaded the incubator with this week's eggs.  Almost ten dozen, but not quite after I sorted them out.  Mostly Buff Orpingtons, Easter Eggers/Olive Eggers.  Probably have a few extra Golden Cuckoo Marans cockerels to go, too.  WooHoo!  Looking forward to my first hatch this year!

I love buff orpingtons but everyone around here seems to find them boring color wise. I have a big buff who seems to be as smart as a dog. 

I've met a few that find them boring, but mostly they are very popular in my area because they are dependable, calm, dual purpose birds. I guess some people are more interested in color than productivity, though!

Only have one Buff, but was amazed at how quickly she grew. Still weeks and weeks away from Egg production though.

Hi everyone! Well, the chick that wasn't doing so well in January, managed to make it but then a couple weeks ago was taken away by a cat or something. I thought my broody was a great mama but she is the WORST mom ever! She lost 2 chicks total - female chicks! so now I'm stuck with 3 cockerels. anyone interested in these guys?
One looks like a French Black Copper Marans. Dad is a blue splash English type Marans, & the mom, well, I thought she was blue copper marans x with barred rock - one leg clean one leg feathered. She is mostly black with a little red copper around her face & neck. I don't want to say for sure it's an FBCM in case someone is looking to breed him.

Good morning y'all. I think I'm going to spend the morning getting my coop ready for more rain and ice. I really hope it's not as bad as last weekend.

How is everyone else doing? On the topic of buffs, I have four lovely girls and they are my favorite of all my chickens. I'd love to get a buff roo at some point, but I think that one ee roo and two bantam roos are enough for now.

I think your hatch date is off by a bit. If you set on 3-19-14
you should start seeing hatching activity by 4-8-14 or at
least a few days close to that. Good luck with your hatch either way
