White orpingtons. Never will do buff ones though

That's cool! do you keep them for eggs, meat or just for pets?

 

[BOchickmama4]

I have one. She was purchased from a breeder who hatched her in May.

Same age as my Buff orpington Roo! the father of my chicks!

I just have one rooster now. He's in my bachelor pad so long as he behaves, but if he gets human aggressive, he'll be culled for feathers

My Roo is an attacker though he's nice to the hens so we keep him for breeding!

I won't do that. Too many human friendly males to be worth keeping an aggressive male, plus it's partially genetic, so his sons are just as likely to be aggressive. I'd process him and get a new one

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!

I have two chocolate Orpington hens about one year old they are so sweet and super fluffy

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

hmmm... I'll think about it
