Who has raised Buff orpingtons before?

[BOchickmama4]

I am raising 3 buff orpington chicks at the moment and was wondering if anyone else has or is planning to or has some in their flock now!

 

[sybonbon]

COOL! how long have you had them?

I have one. She was purchased from a breeder who hatched her in May. You can see she's larger than my CCL.

 

[sybonbon]

No. I never had the space. I do have a Chocolate Orpington Bantam (English) who is the same size as my standard breeds. I never knew there was an English and American version until now.

I have 2 buff Orpingtons in my flock and they are the sweetest!

Ya I've had them but am not a fan. Partially because almost every cockerel/rooster I've had were complete jerks.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Yup, my male is a jerk!

I have raised BO’s and I love them, I am putting lavenders in the incubator next week and picking up two BO chicks tomorrow. So friendly, so fluffy I love them

Does she coo as you rock her? Mine do, they sort of sing/cluck the entire time.

My Mazie clucks a lot while being held. We have many good conversations.

Yes, I have 3 5 week old BOs and 4 other chicks, 3 ducklings today or tomorrow

Mine 3 are 3 days old!
