Who else loves their Orps? Orp lovers and Orps ONLY Thread. If you are going to hate on Orps, you aren't allowed.

I love my orps, and I know lots of others here too, but it has come to my attention that if we want to talk about orps without being hated on, we need our own thread, so here it is. You can talk about your orps, and how much you love them, post pics and tell stories about them. I will not allow hating on eachother in this thread, or on the way any of us take care of our chickens.

I kept an BO a few years ago, she was friendly and very broody (but we didn't have roosters at the time, so...). One of my first flock. Great winter layers. I currently have two bantam orp pullets, mixed varieties. They are great layers, friendly, curious, and beautiful!

So far I've only had buffs and lavenders, but my longtime favorite breed is Buff Orpingtons!!! My buffs have always been the sweetest girls in the coop. I just recently acquired 3 6 week old lavender Orpingtons (1 cockerel, 2 pullets), for only $6 a bird, and I am so excited about them! Ive only ever raised hatchery grade birds, so not sure if I can be considered a true orpington enthusiast, but I have loved the ones I've had!

Who would hate on Orps?!

I REALLY want Orps.... I cant wait until I can get some! They are my definite wish-I-had breed!

I have a Blue (fattest girl I have ever seen), a Lavender (shy but definitely the roos second favorite), and Buff (the roos absolute favorite). If I could I would have my rooster brag on them because I know he loves them too!

I will start. I fell in love with orps completely by accident, I got given chickens after we had planned on getting some , but didn't want to start with chicks. I have had 2 buffs and a delaware since May, and in early June, Daffy passed, and in late September Clover became part of the family.

I got mine on purpose.
And boy do I regret it.
Trust me, I’m no Orp hater.
But I hate Melody, and she happens to be an Orp.

What is the problem with her?

I LOVE orpingtons! There are so many lovely colors/patterns and they're such a big sweet round chicken - who could NOT like them?
