I have 27 buff orpingtons
that are now 94 days old. Some will go to the freezer at 120 days old
. I can't believe how much they have grown in 3 months, it's amazing. It is pretty obvious which ones are the males although I have yet to hear them crow. It's kind of like waiting for your kids to start talking. I have already tagged the two males that I'm keeping for the hens
. They are beautiful birds. I will try to get some pics posted. I can't wait to hear them crow for the first time. I do have a question about one bird though. It is as big as the roos but it's crown and wattle is not as developed and is a nude color. A late blooming male or a butch female I don't know. And it has no tale all of the other birds have lovely tales and this one has a stump. Very short tale feathers. I will defiantly get a pic posted of this one. I know I still have a while but I can't wait for fresh eggs. There is nothing like a good home grown breakfast.
