I can't have any now (I'm a student living in the city) but one day I'd love to keep some chickens of my own! For now watching your videos is nice, informative and I can experience keeping chickens vicariously through you ;) Really liking these chicken vlogs!
OK, story time: we had a fat, fluffy, slightly deformed (scoliosis) and very weird buff Orpington. She was LOVELY with people. Utterly VICIOUS towards other chickens she was above in the pecking order. She had to be given away. Also, her eggs were comically undersized for her weight. Haha. Also it's very cool to see you stroking them like that 😍 My favorite breed is the Pekin bantam. They found there way over to the West after being looted by British or French troops during the opium wars (1st or 2nd) in China. At least that's what I read...sounds plausible.
In Pittsburgh PA it gets pretty hot in the summer & cold in the winter. Probably about 3 months of high 80s & 90s weather. I'm planning a set up for no more than 4 hens. It'll be in the shade of my backyard
I can’t believe how big they’ve gotten, already! Wow! I do have some questions (I apologize if I sound like a fool): What is their life span? Is there any chance of accidentally getting a rooster when picking chicks? Do you choose to store your eggs at room temperature, refrigerate them or use them immediately? Will you have a rooster and allow...you know...the chicken dance? 🐔🐣🐓 I hope you feel better soon, by the way! ❤️
They sound great. If I ever get to keep some chickens (fingers crossed) then I have decided on Cochin bantams ( called Pekin bantams here in the UK). They are a true bantam so small hens and eggs but best option for me as I only have small garden to work with. You are so lucky to have a farm and plenty of land.
I think you can house Orpington chickens with Black Astrolorps because they have the same temperament. Also, did you know there’s a bantam version of the breed? They’re on sale on Cackle Hatchery
I've always thought Buff Orpingtons were among the most attractive chickens, but I would rather purchase or adopt the next generation than raise them myself, so I really do not like broody breeds, though Orpingtons actually in my experience are far from the worst there. I actually have a soft spot for Bantam breeds, though granted many of them are broody. I avoid Silkies for that reason. The reasons I like Bantam breeds are they they are cuter and they can lay eggs with a slightly higher percentage of yolk to the overall composition of the egg. I LOVE egg yolk. I bemoan egg white omelets for example. Who would torture temselves by only cooking with eggwhites?
Ha I called it!! I knew that hair was gonna be a Kool-Aid color! It was the voice, just has that Kool-Aid hair sound to it. The I wanna grow up to be a TH-cam influencer like 80% of the girls in Gen-Z.

Glad I can help! 😁
My buffs will sit on eggs through hatching. Very nice birds. Friendly, happy and curious.

Great video! I learnt a lot!!! Orpington chickens have such pretty coloration!
Chelsea Archer you should see the lavender ones... so gorgeous!
They are both beautiful and cute!
They have grown so much. Hope you feel better.
Love Cochins, orpingtons, silkies, EE, and bantams in general!

Yes, it's hard to picture them small :)
Love their little fluffy buts!
I'm the fourth one to like your video and the 2nd one to comment 😊.
All the very best for your next video !!!😊😊❤️❤️😍😍
I got a hamster only 5 weeks ago and now she's sick. She got a respatory problem but she's on medicine. Do you have any suggestions on how to help her

Bantams are super broody! 😂 and egg whites aren't even really any healthier. Have you tried duck eggs? I think you might like them.
I had two Rhode island reds when i was 10
Hey why don't you have s orpington roster?
The best chicken breed
My lavender Orpingtons are four weeks and don't nearly have as many feathers as yours
Can you do more chinchilla videos. More specifically thing you should and shouldn’t put in there cages.💛❤️
Ugh I'm the friend that's scared of chickens but like birds in general
We have a couple buffs that are quite nasty and run to peck you ! Not so gentle.
Do you know why my chicken is still small?
Whatever u told in this video it's too good.... What's u think about Indian
That's breed can grow up in India... What's u r openion....???
No good

Crack it open to check
Sorry that you are not feeling good!
Are you doing a dan mail video soon?
