I didnt think you came off as rude. It was a "hahaha...wait...do you really need help" kind of moment. I get it now. And you were just quoting ChickenKaylee's post as saying essentially the same thing as yours, but it was ignored...but yours considered rude. If anything, yours was more considerate because you asked if they really needed an answer. No offense to ChickenKaylee intended there. I laughed at the post too, but didn't comment. I took it as funny. And the whole "buff" thing is a VERY common confusion among people. Almost all non-chicken people I encounter don't know what buff is referring to color and not size....and I have 3 buff birds!! I have two bigger pullets who are buff (an orp and a plymouth rock) and a 10 week old baby bantam polish who is buff and someone actually said to me, "well this one isn't as buff as the others." I admittedly giggled a bit and then explained that buff was a color not a size thing.

Since the question is answered and the off topic, disruptive squabbling seems to be over, I am locking this thread.
