The Best First Breed :The Buff Orpington

[BuffOrpington567]

This is better suited for its own thread.

Its actually to do with BO and I was wondering if it is common with the bread due to their size and this one was age 3.

IMO I find tame chickens are much nicer to own

In all seriousness, I also agree, post it on a different thread so others can see and help you with what happened to the chicken

I had a BO and she was skittish It really depends on the bird.

You spell almost everything wrong lol
You are impossible to take seriously.

Once upon a time I raised quite a few hatchery sourced BO.
Hens were pretty decent though they did tend to bully other hens.
But the roosters all had nasty attitudes.
I will never ever own another BO because of that.

I can get past the poor spelling but the posting a dumb pic with every response has me shaking my head.

Wonderful information on the breed, and an interesting read. Good job putting everything together.

Just so happens one of the chicks in my very first (small) brood was a Buff Orp. She's rather...."blah," but overall not a bad bird. My Lavender rooster became human aggressive. A close family member owned at least 5 or 6 Orps, and not a personable individual in the lot.

Personally, for whatever it's worth, I consider Orpingtons rather low on my list. That said, I'm happy to hear there are some who've had great experiences and love them!

We are too hot & humid for Orps here but I have Australorps which were bred from them & love them. Not broody either ~ which is better for us.
