Love my Buff Orpington's too!
Hey I get eggs from a lady from work and she has a broody hen, well she had two but one stopped, but she was wondering what kind of feed the get the chicks, she get her feed at TSC. I told she may have to go with the non-gmo.
Do you sell fertile eggs?
They are so cute 🙂
Hi Ms Patara Thank You for making such Great videos for us!!!! I have been watching for a while now and I was just wondering if you could recommend A hen that will lay jumbo sized brown eggs???? I am very new to this. Thank You, take care and keep safe, Kevin.
Jurassic Park at your farm.
Pantera are Jersey Giants still available ? Sorry I didn't see the comment below .
in your opinion does the french blk copper maran egg darker than french blue copper maran i hav both but cant tell which one is laying the darkest since they are housed together
you have a beautiful flock of chickens
Bet that little stinker squeezed through the fence. I had one of my Sussex do that, even though I didn''t think she could. Up went the deer fence round the bottom section, til that
little runaway gets fat enough she can't fit through no more. 🙂
The last couple weeks I have gotten kind of obsessed with cream legbars. That will be my next breed I go with. You have a nice looking flock there. Your lavender orpington is a beauty. 🙂
awesome breeds!!! but I gotta question….. mine are about 4 months old now and they are not roosting on their ….well roosts. when I go outside to check on them at night…. they are sleeping on the floor… what?…..have plenty… Plenty of room…. but to no avail still on the floor….any advice?
if you were just starting out with chickens, would you consider just getting a random assortment from a hatchery? or would you go for specific breeds?
My favorite is the cinnamon queen and the silver laced Wyandotte the cinnamon queen lays one a day when on grass
Cuties!!! Have a good night!!!
ooh thank you for a more in-depth look at some of your other breeds
In the past 2 days I have binge watched the chicken playlist…. all 174 of them. I have decided to live in your barn. Haha !! My 8 year old granddaughter has also watched most of them…. she fell asleep last night watching. xoxo
What is your best egg layer
Stinkerpot! haha! My mom used to call my son that o.- Love to hear you talk to your babies. 🙂
I fully agree on the Speckled Sussex. I will not be refreshing our Silver-laced Wyandottes nor our Golden-laced Wyandottes, they tend to bully our more docile breeds (Our Speckled Sussex & Black Australorps get the worst of it). I like our Buff Orpingtons, and may get more in the future, but I think this year we're going to reduce our stock to just the Speckled Sussex. I'd love to try Lavender Orpingtons at some point in the future, but they are expensive! Wow!
Love your flock.
Have you ever had salmon favorelles?
I absolutely love my speckled sussex, Emily Chickenson. She is so sweet and friendly!
Sometimes you make it hard for me to decided what birds to add to our farm.
I love your chook vlogs. I think if you did a series on chicken breeds and dedicated 1 video per chicken breed it would be really popular.
i got some chickens for free but don't know what they are . i call them hairdo .
Great info here! In terms of Orpingtons as a whole, can anybody say if they all have basically the same temperament, or are the Lavenders more friendly than say, the Buffs, Blacks etc?
I just loved your happy happy way while talking about your checks. I have recently started raising chickens about a year ago. My first 8 were silver laced babies. I was over the moon in love with them. I got their coop ready and put them out with their heat lamp. It is a huge coop for the 8 of them at first I only had a tiny yard out their trap door. I finally put up a 25' x 45' fenced yard with bird netting over top. I just loved watching them the smile on my face was great. I found my dogs didn't care about them at all so I opened their gate and let them have everything. WOW! Great workers! SO I got the chicken bug (Addiction) In the fall I picked up 4 Buff's babies. OMG! I had play pen days with these girls everyday. I eventually had to put them out into the big coop with their heat lamp but in a smaller area separate from the silver's. I worried about these babies because now it's winter, I won't do fall babies anymore I'm too worried about them being cold. They have done just fine except The silvers are bullies to them. I have opened up their area to the big girls so they can go in and sleep at night but they like their place under the warm light. So with my addiction and getting more babies this week I have decided to create a new coop and leave the Buffs where they are happy. I've already picked up 9 babies -5 Black Astrolorps and 4 Barred Rocks. Still to come this week Rhode Island Reds, Easter Egg layers and Gold Lace, I want 24 total. I want lots of eggs and some to sell of course later. My dogs eat eggs I eat eggs etc… My Buffs are very friendly so are the Silvers but I raised up different. The Buffs I held and cuddled the silvers I didn't. My one Buff loves to be picked up and held and I'm totally in love with all of them. They all follow me around the Buffs try to avoid the Silvers. All is well at my farm.
