I recieved 25 baby buff orpington and 1 mystery "rare breed" chick in the mail today! Oh boy are they cute! I ran home from work to get them settled but I will post pictures on my blog tonight!!
You can stand there forever and stare. It's funny when they sleep and it looks like they have been steamrolled. Or they want to keep playing and running around and stand there with heads drooping from exhaustion.
Enjoy!
I have 2 buff hens and a buff roo. They are sweet birds.
As fair time draws closer, I'm sure hoping to catch the name of the farm where we saw the blue orpingtons last year
Julie- you will love your Orpingtons. We ordered a mixed batch of chickens this summer and made sure that we put a BO rooster in that order to put in with our BO girls next summer. If you ordered from McMurrays your mystery chicken will probably be an Aracauna rooster.
Congrats Mommy on your new babies! My buff was the first layer this year out of my new girls. Wish those dang leghorns would learn from her, they just stand in the nesting box like " I know something should happen in here but, what?" I just LOVE baby chicks!
